Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Solidus - Flavius Victor coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Flavius Victor on one side and the inscription "BONO REIPVBLICE NATI" (meaning "for the good of the republic") on the other side. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Flavius Victor, who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 387 to 388 AD. Despite being made of gold, this coin was used as a standard circulation coin, indicating the high value placed on gold during the Roman Empire.
