Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Commodus, who was a Roman emperor from 180 to 192 AD. He was known for his vanity and extravagance, and his reign was marked by a series of controversial and expensive projects, including the construction of a massive statue of himself. Despite his questionable leadership, Commodus was deified after his death and was remembered as a powerful and influential leader in Roman history.
