Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ21 Iarbas from Numidia, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted during its production run. It was minted during the reign of Iarbas, who was a king of Numidia, a ancient kingdom located in what is now Algeria, from 88 BC to 81 BC. The coin's design features the king's name and image on one side and a horse on the other, symbolizing the kingdom's rich history and culture.
