Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who ruled from 117 to 138 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Tyche, who was believed to bring good fortune and prosperity, on the other side. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions and could have been carried by people living in the Roman Empire during that time period.
