Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Felicitas, the Roman goddess of good luck and prosperity, on its reverse side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and prosperity under the rule of Antoninus Pius, who was known for his wise and effective leadership.
