Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Philippus I, also known as Philip the Arab, who was a Roman emperor who ruled from 244 to 249 AD. He was born in present-day Bulgaria and was known for his military campaigns against the Persians and his efforts to restore peace and stability to the Roman Empire. The coin was minted during his reign and features his image on one side and the goddess Roma on the other.
