Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Honorius, who was only 10 years old when he ascended to the throne, making him the youngest Roman Emperor in history. Despite his young age, he ruled for 23 years, and his reign marked the beginning of the Western Roman Empire's decline.
