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 coin is a rare example of a gold coin produced by a Germanic kingdom during this time period, and its existence suggests that the Burgundian Kingdom had a certain level of economic and political influence.
