Comment
The denominations of bronze coins that are unknown to numismatists are referred to as Æ, (or AE, which means it is made of a base alloy), and with the diameter after it.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare image of a Roman general on horseback, which suggests that it may have been issued to commemorate a military victory or event.
