Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Diana on the other. This suggests that the coin was minted during Nero's reign and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman province of Macedonia.
