Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Justin I and Theoderic, who were both influential leaders of the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire. The coin's minting location, Sirmium, was an important city in the empire's province of Pannonia, and it's interesting to note that the coin does not bear the letter "S" in its inscription, which could indicate that it was minted during a specific time period or under a specific authority.
