Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Valentinian II, who was only a child when he ascended to the throne, and his youthful appearance is evident in the coin's design. Despite his young age, Valentinian II played a significant role in the Roman Empire's military campaigns and political affairs during his reign.
