 | | The majority of Byzantine gold coins were produced at Constantinople, although several other mints produced large series of gold coins at various times. | | | These pieces were the first silver coins to be produced in large quantities by the Byzantines. | | | Some denominations were very short lived, including the miliarense, which had several replacements over the centuries, while others were as long lived as the solidus. |

| | Perspectives in Numismatics - Eight Hundred Years of Roman Coinage |
| | Throughout the later Republican period, and during Imperial times up to the end of the 4th century A.D., Roman coinage was produced on a vast scale, making it a rich source of material for the present-day collector. | | | Each of these new coins was clearly marked with its value as a multiple of the nummus, and their large scale issue from an expanding mint system meant a return to the more settled economic conditions of earlier times. | | | The prerogatives of the military commanders in the field often included the right to strike coinage to meet emergency expenses, resulting in large scale decentralization of minting. |

| | The nummus was an extremely small bronze coin (about 8-10mm), which was inconvenient because a large number of them were required even for small transactions. | | | Although Justinian II (685–695 and 705–711) attempted a restoration of the follis size of Justinian I, the follis continued to slowly decrease in size. | | | The Byzantine monetary system changed during the 7th century when the 40 nummi (also known as the follis), now significantly smaller, became the only bronze coin to be regularly issued. |
