Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Leo I, who was the first king of the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa. The Vandal Kingdom was a Germanic tribe that conquered and ruled much of North Africa and the Mediterranean coast from the 5th to the 6th century AD. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the Vandal people during this time period.
