Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Hunnic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a crowned bust of the king, Toramana II, with a distinctive Hunnic-style mustache and a Roman-style crown. The reverse (back) side of the coin features a stylized representation of a hunting scene, with a horseman and a dog chasing a deer, which is a common motif in Hunnic art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Hunnic tribes and their interactions with the Roman Empire.
