Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political turmoil in the Gepid Kingdom. The coin was issued jointly in the names of Anastasius I and Theoderic, two powerful leaders who were vying for control of the kingdom. Despite the political tensions, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was made of silver, indicating the value and wealth of the Gepid Kingdom at that time.
