Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Western Roman Empire, when the Suevi tribe, a Germanic people, had established their kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula (present-day Spain and Portugal) and were minting their own coins in the name of the Roman Emperor Valentinian III. Despite the political instability of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Suevi people.
