Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Valentinian III on one side, and the goddess Concordia on the other. Concordia was the goddess of harmony and unity, and her presence on the coin may suggest that the emperor was trying to promote peace and stability within the empire. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of bronze, a relatively inexpensive material, suggests that it was intended for widespread circulation and use among the general population.
