Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman goddess, possibly Juno or Venus, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts a mythical creature, possibly a griffin or a lion, along with the inscription "ROMA" in bold letters. This suggests that the coin was issued during a time when the Roman Republic was still in its early stages and was heavily influenced by Greek culture and mythology.
