Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Valentinianus I coin is that it features the abbreviation "SISCIA" in the right field, which indicates that it was minted in the city of Siscia (modern-day Sisak, Croatia). This coin is one of the few nummi coins that were minted outside of Rome, and its minting in Siscia suggests that the Roman Empire was expanding its coinage production to other regions.
