Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Anastasius I Dicorus, who was the Byzantine Emperor from 491 to 518 AD. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to reform the Byzantine Empire's government and economy. The coin's design, which includes a spear and shield, reflects the military themes that were common in Byzantine art during this period. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively small weight of 4 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
