Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Lucilla, the daughter of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who ruled from 161 to 180 AD. Lucilla was known for her intelligence, beauty, and her role as a mediator during her father's reign. The coin's design, which includes the inscription "CONCORDIA S C" (Concordia Scotia), suggests that it was issued during a time of peace and unity in the Roman Empire.
