Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
The Trajan coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Trajan, who ruled the Roman Empire from 98 to 117 AD. This coin was part of a series of coins minted to commemorate Trajan's military victories, specifically his conquest of Dacia (modern-day Romania). The coin features an image of Trajan on one side and a depiction of a Roman soldier on the other. The use of bronze for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
