Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Valentinianus II (VOT X MVLT XX) coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, the coin bears the image of Valentinianus II, while the other side features the Chi-Rho symbol, which represents the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex religious landscape of the Roman Empire during the 4th century.
