Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Septimius Severus, who was a Roman emperor from 193 to 211 AD. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's power and stability after a period of turmoil. The coin's design also includes an inscription that honors Consular Legate Julius Faustinianus, who was a prominent Roman official during Severus' reign. Additionally, the coin was minted in Marcianopolis, which was an important city in the Roman province of Moesia Inferior (now modern-day Bulgaria).
