Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperors Trebonianus Gallus and Volusianus, who ruled the Roman Empire together for a brief period of time, from 251 to 253 AD. This coin was minted during their reign and is a rare example of a Roman coin that features two emperors together on the same coin.
