The gold histamonen nomisma coins were critical to the economy of the Mediterranean for several centuries, though debasement over the course of time showcased the financial strains the Byzantine Empire faced amidst external pressures from the east. This Byzantine Empire AV Hist. Nomisma from the reign of Romanus III earned a Choice Very Fine designation from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Today, the Byzantine Empire Romanus III AV Hist. Nomisma is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Romanus III was a senior bureaucrat who came to the throne by marrying Empress Zoë, and his coinage reflects his desire to project legitimate imperial authority. His reign was marked by the continuation of the Byzantine Empire’s decline amidst financial and military pressures. In particular, Romanus III is remembered for an ill-fated military campaign in Aleppo in 1030.
This Byzantine Empire Romanus III AV Hist. Nomisma Coin features a Choice Very Fine grade with an impressive 5/5 strike designation, indicating a coin with design elements that are strongly struck and well-centered. The 3/5 surface designation points to a coin with modest signs of wear and tear from handling, with average luster remaining.
In the obverse design of the Byzantine Empire Romanus III AV Hist. Nomisma, you will find the historic Christ Pantokrator design. The continuous use of this depiction of Christ, captured in a seated, enthroned position in this design, ingrained the Orthodox beliefs of the empire in its currency. The image was further used by emperors to establish a divine right to rule. For the reverse, you will find an image of the Virgin Mary crowning Romanus III as emperor.
