Interesting fact
The Burgundian Kingdom, where this coin was minted, was a short-lived kingdom that existed from 411 to 437 AD. It was established by the Germanic tribe of the Burgundians, who had settled in the Rhone Valley in France. Despite its short existence, the kingdom played an important role in the history of Europe during the Middle Ages.
