Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Herennius Etruscus as Caesar is notable for its rare depiction of a Roman emperor with a beard. Most Roman coins from this period depict clean-shaven emperors, so the presence of a beard on this coin is a distinctive feature. Additionally, the coin's minting in Pannonia (modern-day Hungary) makes it a rare example of a Roman coin produced outside of Italy.
