Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Theodosius II on one side, and the goddess Concordia on the other. Concordia was the Roman goddess of harmony and unity, and her presence on the coin may suggest that Theodosius II was trying to promote peace and unity within the Eastern Roman Empire.
