Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare portrait of the Roman Emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 AD. The coin's design includes Nero's name and title in Greek, Νερων Καισαρ (Neron Kaisar), and his image is depicted in profile, wearing a laurel wreath and with a stern expression. This coin is a valuable piece for collectors and historians, as it provides a unique insight into the Roman Empire's influence on the city of Chalcis (Achaea) during Nero's reign.
