Comment
This is an unpublished coin that is said to have been struck sometime in the 6th century. While this piece is struck on a tremissis flan, the overall design imitates certain solidus pieces.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Anastasius I, who was the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire and the first emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Despite being minted during a time of political transition, the coin still bears the name of Anastasius I, indicating the continuity of the Roman Empire's legacy. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold and weighs 1.39g suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin during its time.
