Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Lucilla, who was the wife of the Roman emperor Lucius Verus, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the image of Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony and unity. This coin was minted during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire, and its design reflects the values of unity and concord that were important to the Roman people during that period.
