Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Philippus II, also known as Philip the Arab, who was a 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 stability and continuity. The coin's design, including the image of the emperor and the inscriptions, was meant to convey a sense of Roman tradition and authority.
