Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Securitas (Security) on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during this period. The image of Securitas was meant to symbolize the stability and security of the Roman Empire under the rule of Emperor Septimius Severus, who issued the coin.
