One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Magnus Maximus, a Roman general and emperor who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 383 to 388 AD. He was known for his military campaigns against the Germanic tribes and his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's power and prestige. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the ideals of Roman virtues and the power of the Roman state during this period.
