Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Volusianus, who ruled from 251 to 253 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 was often used on coins to symbolize the city's prosperity and good fortune.
