Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Theodosius I on one side, and the goddess Concordia on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in the Roman Empire, and the image of Concordia was likely included as a symbol of unity and stability. Despite the challenges of the time, the Nummus coin remained a widely used and important form of currency throughout the empire.
