Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Volusian, who was a Roman usurper who briefly ruled over the Roman Empire in 250-251 AD. He was known for his attempts to reform the Roman currency and military, and his coinage is considered to be an important part of Roman numismatic history.
