Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Julian II, also known as Julian the Apostate, who was the last non-Christian Roman Emperor. He was known for his attempts to restore paganism as the dominant religion of the empire, and his coinage often featured images of traditional Roman deities. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect this cultural and religious shift, making it a unique and fascinating piece of history.
