Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Anastasius I, who was the last Roman Emperor to rule over a united Roman Empire. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 1.46 grams, making it a relatively small and portable form of currency for its time.
