Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two Roman emperors, Commodus and Marcus Aurelius, on the same coin. This is unusual because Commodus was known for his vanity and jealousy, and it's surprising that he would allow his co-emperor's image to appear alongside his own.
