Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the goddess Fortuna on one side, which was a common motif in Roman coinage, but the image of Clodius Albinus on the other side is quite rare, as he was a usurper emperor and his coins are not as widely found as those of other emperors.
