Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Trajan Decius, who was a Roman emperor who ruled from 249 to 251 AD. He was known for his military campaigns against the Goths and his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's power and stability. The coin's design also includes the inscription "DACIA S C," which stands for "Dacia, Senate and People of Rome." This indicates that the coin was minted in the province of Dacia, which was located in what is now modern-day Romania.
