Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Usurpations of Carthage, a period of political instability in the Western Roman Empire when various generals and officials seized power and issued their own coins. Despite being an official currency, the Æ10 coin featuring Bonifacius is a rare find, highlighting the turmoil and fragmentation of the empire during that time.
