Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the portraits of two Roman emperors, Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, on opposite sides, which was a common design feature of Roman coins during this period. This coin was minted during their joint reign (161-169 AD) and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman Empire.
