Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare and unique reverse design, depicting Marcus Aurelius holding a scepter and a shield, surrounded by the legend "S C" which stands for "Senatus Consulto" or "By decree of the Senate". This design was only used for a short period of time during Marcus Aurelius' reign, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
