Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Commodus, who ruled from 180 to 192 AD, on one side, and the goddess Victoria on the other. This coin was minted during Commodus' reign and is a rare example of a coin that has survived from that time period.
