Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Magnentius, who was a usurper emperor of the Roman Empire, meaning he seized power without being legitimately appointed or elected. Despite his controversial reign, his coinage has survived and is now a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians.
