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 both the Western and Eastern Roman Empire. This coin, minted in Rome, features two stars on the reverse side, which symbolize the unity of the two empires under a single ruler. Despite being made of gold, this coin weighs only 1.46 grams, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
