Comment
Only two examples are known.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 over the Western Roman Empire before its fall in 476 CE. Despite being issued by the Ostrogothic Kingdom, the coin still bears the name of Anastasius I, indicating the continued influence of the Roman Empire even after its decline.
