Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 AD, on one side, and the Greek goddess Athena on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was expanding its influence over Greek territories, and it represents a blending of Roman and Greek cultures.
