Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Aphrodite on the other. This coin was minted in the city of Celenderis, which was located in the Roman province of Cilicia (modern-day Turkey). Despite being made of bronze, this coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and the fact that it has been well-preserved over the centuries.
