Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Theodosius I on one side, and the goddess Concordia on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political change in the Roman Empire, as Theodosius I was the first Christian Roman Emperor and oversaw the establishment of Christianity as the official state religion. The image of Concordia, who was a goddess of harmony and unity, may have been included to promote the idea of religious tolerance and cooperation during this time of transition.
