Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Siliqua - Procopius (365-366) coin is that it was issued during a time of great political instability in the Roman Empire. Procopius, who was a successful military commander, seized power and declared himself emperor, but his reign was short-lived and he was eventually killed by his own soldiers. Despite this tumultuous background, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item due to its rarity and historical significance.
