Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Faustina the Younger, who was a powerful and influential Roman empress, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the image of Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony and unity. This coin was minted during Faustina's reign, which lasted from 145 to 161 AD, and was likely used as a symbol of her reign and the unity of the Roman Empire.
