Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Gallienus, who was a Roman emperor during the 3rd century AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Tyche on the other. Tyche was the patron deity of the city of Antioch, where the coin was minted, and her image on the coin symbolized the city's prosperity and good fortune.
