Interesting fact

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