Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Theodosius II on one side and the symbol of the Eastern Roman Empire, the double-headed eagle, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the Eastern Roman Empire, with Theodosius II facing challenges from external threats such as the Huns and internal conflicts such as the Nika riots. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Eastern Roman Empire and its influence on the development of Western civilization.
