Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Honorius, who was the Western Roman Emperor from 393 to 423 AD, and was later taken over by the Vandal Kingdom. Despite being issued by a kingdom that no longer exists, this coin has survived for centuries and remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians.
