Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperor Valentinianus I with a distinctive "D" mint mark in the right field, indicating that it was minted in the city of Siscia (modern-day Sisak, Croatia). This mint mark is a unique characteristic of coins minted during Valentinianus' reign and can be used to identify the coin's origin and authenticity.
