Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, which depicts a dolphin jumping out of the water, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the Roman Republic's naval power and its ability to conquer the seas.
