Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Trajan Decius, who was a Roman emperor who ruled from 249 to 251 AD, on one side, and a depiction of Pannonia, a province of the Roman Empire, on the other side. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, known as the Crisis of the Third Century, and it is a rare surviving example of the currency used during this period.
