Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a mythical creature called the Cantharus, which is a half-human, half-fish creature. This design was used in place of the more traditional Roman gods and goddesses, indicating the influence of Greek mythology on Roman culture during that time period.
