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 one side, and the goddess Fecunditas, who represented fertility and abundance, on the other. This coin was minted during her reign, which lasted from 161 to 176 AD, and was likely used as a symbol of her leadership and the prosperity of the Roman Empire during that time.
