Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Valentinianus I coin is that it features the first known use of the "R/Ř-S/●" mintmark, which was used to indicate that the coin was produced at the Siscia mint in modern-day Croatia. This mintmark was unique to the Siscia mint and was not used on any other coins produced during the Roman Empire.
