Comment
This unpublished coin is said to be struck from the mid-4th to early-5th centuries.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Germanic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a stylized horse, which was a common motif in ancient Germanic art, while the reverse (back) side bears a stylized rendition of the Roman goddess Victory, highlighting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Roman Empire's expansion into Germanic territories.
