Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was created by the Goths, a group of people who were known for their nomadic lifestyle and fierce warrior culture, yet they still managed to produce a coin that was similar in design and quality to those produced by the Roman Empire, which shows their ability to adapt and assimilate different cultures.
