Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Trajan, who ruled from 98 to 117 AD, on one side, and the goddess Clementia, who was revered for her mercy and forgiveness, on the other. This coin was minted during Trajan's third consulship, which was a significant event in Roman history.
