Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trebonianus Gallus coin is that it features a rare reverse design that depicts the Roman goddess Victory standing on the prow of a ship, symbolizing the Roman Empire's naval power and victories. This design is unique to this particular coin and is not found on other coins of the same era, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
