Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Theodosius II, who was the last Roman Emperor to rule over both the Eastern and Western Roman Empire. This coin, minted in the Vandal Kingdom, is a testament to the far-reaching influence of the Roman Empire and the spread of its currency across different regions. Despite being made of bronze, a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still holds significant historical value as a symbol of the economic and cultural exchange that took place during that time.
