Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Nummi - Athalaric coin is that it features a unique design of a person walking, which is not commonly seen on coins from the Ostrogothic Kingdom. This design element suggests that the coin may have been influenced by Roman artistic traditions, which is not surprising given the historical context of the Ostrogothic Kingdom's roots in the Roman Empire.
