Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Philippus II, also known as Philip the Arab, who was the Roman Emperor from 244 to 249 AD. He was known for his attempts to restore peace and stability to the empire after a period of turmoil, and his coinage reflects this focus on concordia, or harmony, as seen in the inscription CONCORDIA AVGVSTORVM on the coin.
