Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the Usurpations of Western provinces, a time of political instability in the Roman Empire when various generals and officials declared their independence and issued their own coins. Despite the turmoil, the coin still bears the traditional imagery and inscriptions of a Roman imperial coin, reflecting the enduring influence of Roman culture and power.
