Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Julianus II as Caesar, which suggests that it was minted during his reign as Caesar, which lasted from 335 to 360 AD. This makes it a rare and valuable coin for collectors interested in Roman Empire-era numismatics. Additionally, the coin's inscription, "FEL TEMP REPARATIO," translates to "Happy Time of Repair," which may refer to the emperor's efforts to restore the empire's economy and military during his reign.
