Byzantine Gold - Angel - Justin I
This is one of three gold Byzantine coins that I have set as a pendant. It is very small (see picture with one of the other coins and a penny). They have a beautiful image of a victory or angel on one side, and the emperor on the other.
This coin is gorgeous and it is set in a one of a kind prong setting.

Of Macedonian peasant origin, Justin I rose through the ranks of the military and was proclaimed emperor by the army on 10 July 518 A.D. He was uneducated, but intelligent enough to rely upon the policy advice of his brilliant nephew, Justinian I. Justinian was raised to the rank of co-Emperor months before Justin's death on 1 August 527 A.D.
