Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperor Valentinianus II, who was only a child when he ascended to the throne and ruled under the guidance of his guardians. Despite his young age, he made significant reforms to the Roman Empire, including the establishment of a new civil calendar and the restoration of the Roman Senate's power.
