Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Gordian III, who was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 238 to 244 AD. Despite being a Roman Emperor, Gordian III was born in the city of Singara, which is now located in modern-day Iraq. This coin was likely minted during his reign and circulated in the region.
