Comment
Weight can vary.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman warship, known as a trireme, on its reverse side. This design was used during the Roman Republic and symbolized the power and influence of the Roman navy. The use of a warship on the coin's reverse side was a common motif during this time period and was meant to convey the idea of Roman military strength and dominance.
