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 Diana on the other. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Roman province of Macedonia during Domitian's reign, and it highlights the blending of Roman and Greek cultural influences in the region during that time.
