Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare representation of Agrippina the Younger, the mother of the emperor Nero, on the reverse side, while Claudius is depicted on the obverse. This is unusual because Agrippina was not a formal empress and did not typically appear on coins. This coin may have been issued to promote her image and reinforce her influence within the Roman Empire during her lifetime.
