Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ18 - Caracella (211-217) from Topirus (Thracia) made of Bronze weighing 5.10 g, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. It's considered a rare coin because it was minted during the reign of Caracalla, who was a Roman emperor from 211 to 217 AD, and it's made of bronze, which was a less common material for coins during that time period. Additionally, the fact that it's from Topirus (Thracia), which is now modern-day Bulgaria, makes it even more unique and sought after by collectors.
