Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperor Valentinianus I with a distinctive "F" symbol in the left field, which stands for "Felicitas," or good luck, and a "D/Ř" symbol in the right field, which represents the mint location of Siscia (modern-day Sisak, Croatia). This coin was issued during Valentinianus' reign from 364 to 375 AD, a time of significant political and military turmoil in the Roman Empire. Despite the challenges of the era, the coin's design and production reflect the enduring importance of Roman currency as a symbol of power and prosperity.
