Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Julian II, also known as Julian the Apostate, who was the last pagan Roman emperor. He attempted to restore paganism as the dominant religion of the empire, which had been gradually replaced by Christianity. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 355 to 361 AD.
