Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Geta, who was a Roman emperor who ruled alongside his father, Septimius Severus, and his brother, Caracalla. Geta's reign was marked by tension and conflict between him and his brother, who eventually had him assassinated in 212 AD. Despite this, Geta's image was still featured on coins minted during his reign, such as this 7 Deniers coin.
