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 inscription "ΘΕΩ ΑΒΔΗΡΕΙΤΑΙ" (which means "of the divine Nero") on the other. This coin was minted in the city of Abdera in Thracia (modern-day Bulgaria) and was used as a standard circulation coin during Nero's reign.
