Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Justinian I, who was the last Roman Emperor to rule over a unified Roman Empire. Despite being issued by the Visigothic Kingdom, the coin still bore the name and image of Justinian, reflecting the complex political dynamics of the time.
