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 with a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. This coin is a testament to the Goths' ability to adapt and assimilate into the cultures they encountered, while still maintaining their unique identity.
