Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a palm tree on the reverse side, which was a symbol of victory and peace in ancient Rome. The palm tree was also associated with the goddess Victory, who was often depicted holding a palm branch. This coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Gratian, who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 378 to 383 AD.
