Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Gordian III, who ruled from 238 to 244 AD, on one side, and a goddess, possibly Juno, on the other. Despite being made of bronze, this coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and the fact that it was minted in Nisibis, which is now modern-day Turkey.
