Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Claudius, who ruled from 41 to 54 AD, on one side, and an image of a warrior holding a spear and shield on the other side. This coin was minted in the city of Cidrama, which was an ancient city in the Roman province of Asia Minor, now modern-day Turkey. The coin was made of bronze and weighs 23 grams.
