Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two emperors, Assarion and Diadumenian, on the same coin. This is unusual because it was not common for Roman coins to depict multiple emperors together, especially during the late Roman Empire. The coin's design may have been intended to promote unity and stability during a time of political upheaval.
