Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Solidus - Julius Nepos (VICTORIA AVGGG) (475-477) coin is that it was issued during a time of political instability in the Western Roman Empire. Julius Nepos, who ruled from 474 to 477 AD, was the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire before its fall, and his reign was marked by power struggles and military conflicts. Despite this turmoil, the coinage issued during his reign, such as the Solidus, remained a symbol of the empire's wealth and power.
