Justinian I, Solidus, Constantinople, Officina Z.

Justinian I (527-565), gold Solidus, Constantinople, officina Z, D N IVSTINI - ANVSPPAVI, facing bust holding globus cruciger, rev. VICTORI - AAVCCC Z, angel standing facing holding long staff surmounted by tau-rho, and globus cruciger, star in right field, in exergue, CONOB, 4.27g, 6h (DO 9; S. 140; MIB 7). Struck with a 'rusty' obverse die otherwise good very fine.

Would something as important as a die have been allowed to rust, or been used if it was rusty, or does something else cause the effect we refer to as a rusty die?
