Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Tranquillina, the wife of Emperor Gordian III, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts a stylized representation of the goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch. This design was common on coins issued during Gordian III's reign and symbolized the Roman Empire's military victories and the emperor's role as a victorious leader.
