Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two Roman emperors, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, on the same coin. This is a rare occurrence in Roman numismatics, as coins typically featured only one emperor per coin. The fact that this coin features two emperors suggests that it was minted during a time of political stability and unity in the Roman Empire.
