Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Caligula, who was known for his controversial and often tyrannical rule, yet the coin's inscription describes him as "C C A II VIR," which means "Second time consul," suggesting that he was still considered a respected leader at the time the coin was minted.
