Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Valentinianus I coin is that it features the first known use of the "G" mint mark, which was used to indicate that the coin was produced at the mint in Siscia (modern-day Sisak, Croatia). This mint mark was used for the first time during the reign of Emperor Valentinianus I, who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 364 to 375 AD. The use of the "G" mint mark became a standard practice for coins produced at this mint and continued to be used for centuries.
