Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis coin in the name of Zeno (Milan) is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Western Roman Empire. Zeno, who was the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, attempted to reunify the two halves of the empire, but his efforts ultimately failed. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the political and economic climate of the time.
