Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Anastasius I, who was the last Roman Emperor to rule before the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Despite being issued by the Ostrogothic Kingdom, the coin still bears the name of Anastasius I, indicating the continued influence of the Roman Empire even after its fall.
