Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare image of the Roman Emperor Geta, who ruled alongside his father Septimius Severus and his brother Caracalla. Geta's reign was marked by political turmoil and power struggles within the imperial family, and his image on this coin may have been an attempt to promote his legitimacy and authority.
