Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three emperors, which was a rare occurrence in Roman coinage. The coin was issued during a time of political instability, and the inclusion of multiple emperors on the coin may have been a way to emphasize the unity and stability of the Roman Empire. Additionally, the coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
