Interesting fact

The coin features the image of a Roman goddess, possibly Juno or Venus, on the obverse (front side), which is a common feature of Roman coins from this time period. The reverse (back side) of the coin depicts a horseman riding a horse, which is a symbol of power and strength. The coin's design and imagery reflect the cultural and political influences of the Roman Republic during this time.
