Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Saloninus, who was a Caesar (junior emperor) during the reign of Gallienus, on the obverse (front side). This is notable because Saloninus was only a Caesar for a short period of time before he was killed in a military campaign, making coins with his image relatively rare and valuable among collectors.
