Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Centenionalis - Decentius coin is that it was minted during a time of political instability in the Western Roman Empire, specifically during the Usurpations of Western provinces. Despite being made of bronze, a relatively common metal, the coin still holds historical significance as a representation of the economic and political climate of the Roman Empire during that time.
