By the end of the empire, coins were issued in silver and bronze only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly Byzantine coins are familiar to those who are used to Roman Empire coins. On the obverse, or front, is the bust of the Emperor, with one significant change. Now, the Emperor is portrayed full face rather than in profile. On the reverse, or back, of Byzantine coins is usually a Christian symbol. Crosses and angels (based on the winged Roman goddess Victory) were often used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the rule of Emperor Justinian II (685–695), Byzantine coins were becoming more distinctly “Byzantine” in both art and symbolism. Justinian was the first to picture Jesus Christ on the obverse of his coinage, with a half, or full-length depiction of the Emperor on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the centuries, Byzantine coins were a staple of trade throughout Europe and the Orient.
