The Byzantine Empire Gold Coin
Struck by hand more than 1,300 years ago...
The gold solidus was the foremost gold coin of the wealthy Byzantine Empire, representing as much as six weeks’ pay for an average soldier in the Byzantine army. One of the first gold coins to feature Christian symbols, it was also used along the great trade routes that connected Constantinople (present-day Istanbul, Turkey) to Europe and Asia, helping to spread Christianity and promote the empire’s religious foundation.
Each gold solidus was individually hand-struck by skilled craftsmen in the sixth or seventh century; as a result, each coin is a unique work of art that is slightly different from all others. By special arrangement, PCS has acquired a limited quantity of these prized ancient gold coins, certified authentic by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, one of the most trusted coin-grading services in the world.
