Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Anastasius I, who was the Western Roman Emperor from 491 to 518 AD. Despite being minted in the name of Anastasius I, the coin was actually produced by the Burgundian Kingdom, which was a Germanic kingdom that had been established within the Western Roman Empire. This highlights the complex political dynamics of the time, where different kingdoms and empires were vying for power and influence. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of gold suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after currency during its time.
