Comment
Theoric weight of 14 gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman goddess, possibly Juno or Venus, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts a mythical creature, possibly a griffin or a sphinx, which was a common motif in ancient Roman art and symbolized the power and strength of the Roman Republic.
