Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 AD, on one side, and an image of the goddess Tyche (Fortuna) on the other side. This coin was minted during Titus' reign and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman Empire.
