Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Julianus II coin is that it features the emperor Julianus II, also known as Julian the Apostate, who was the last non-Christian Roman emperor. He attempted to restore paganism as the dominant religion of the empire, which led to conflicts with Christians and ultimately resulted in his death in 363 AD. Despite his controversial reign, his coins remain a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
