Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Gratian, who was only 16 years old when he ascended to the throne, making him one of the youngest Roman emperors in history. Despite his young age, Gratian's reign was marked by significant military campaigns and reforms, including the establishment of a new currency system, which included the Nummus coin.
