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 legend "KAIΣAΡ" (Caesar) on the other. This coin was minted during Nero's reign and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Roman Empire. Despite being made of bronze, which is a relatively common metal, this coin is still considered valuable among collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
