Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first Roman emperor Numerian (283-284 AD) who was known for his attempts to reform the Roman Empire's currency and military. The coin's design includes the image of Numerian on the obverse (front) side, and the goddess Pax (Irene) on the reverse (back) side, symbolizing peace and prosperity. The coin's bronze material was a common choice for Roman coins during this time period, as it was a durable and affordable metal.
