Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Geta, who ruled alongside his father Septimius Severus and his brother Caracalla. Despite being a bronze coin, it weighs only 5.3 grams, making it relatively lightweight compared to other coins of similar size and material. Additionally, the coin's design includes the abbreviation "MID" which stands for "Mid Deae," meaning "in the middle of the goddess," possibly referring to the goddess of fortune, Fortuna.
