Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Julian II, also known as Julian the Apostate, who was the last non-Christian Roman Emperor. He was known for his attempts to restore paganism as the dominant religion of the empire, and his coinage often featured images of traditional Roman deities. The coin's inscription, "SECVRITAS REI PVB," translates to "Security of the State," which was a common motto on Roman coins during this period.
