Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two emperors, Claudius and Agrippina II, on the same coin. This was a unique phenomenon in Roman numismatics, as coins typically featured only one emperor at a time. The fact that Agrippina II was included on the coin suggests that she played an important role in the Roman Empire during this period, and her association with Claudius highlights the close relationship between the two.
