One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Hadrian, who was known for his extensive travels throughout the Roman Empire, and his love of Greek culture. He was also known for his military campaigns, particularly his conquest of Dacia (modern-day Romania), which greatly expanded the empire's borders.
