Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Anastasius I, who was the last Roman Emperor to rule under the Western Roman Empire, and the first Roman Emperor to rule under the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire. This coin was minted during a time of great political and social change, as the Western Roman Empire was declining and the Eastern Roman Empire was rising to power.
