Despite being made of a base metal like billon, the coin still features a impressive level of detail and craftsmanship, with the image of Claudius II depicted on one side and the goddess Consecratio on the other. This coin is a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman coinage and the importance of money as a symbol of power and influence throughout history.
