Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Zeno, who was the last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire, ruling from 476 to 493 AD. Despite being the last emperor, Zeno's coinage is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, making this ½ Siliqua coin a valuable piece of history.
