A V SOLIDUS
COINAGE OF THE
BYZANTINE EMPIRE
USED IN CONSTANTINOPLE
Shortly after being acclaimed by the army as Augustus in A.D. 306, Constantine the Great (A.D. 306-337) reformed the Roman coinage. He replaced the fundamental gold denomination of the Roman period, the aureus, with a new and slightly lighter gold coin, the solidus. Although the introduction of the solidus did not result immediately in coin designs significantly different from those of the second and third centuries, over the course of the following two centuries the solidus gradually evolved into a coinage with an appearance and identity of its own.

Description:
TRADE COINAGE
GOLD SOLIDUS AND TREMISSIS
The start of what is viewed as the Byzantine currency by numismatics began with the monetary reform of Anastasius in 498, who reformed the late Roman Empire coinage system which consisted of the gold solidus, gold tremis and the bronze nummi.
The gold solidus or nomisma remained a standard of international commerce until the 11th century when it began to be debased under successive emperors beginning in the 1030s under the Emperor Romanos Argyros (1028–1034). Until that time, the fineness of the gold remained consistent at about 0.955–0.980.
The full weight solidus was struck at 72 to the Roman pound. The Byzantine coinage had a prestige that lasted until near the end of the Empire. European rulers, once they again started issuing their own coins, tended to follow a simplified version of Byzantine patterns, with full face ruler portraits on the obverse.
