Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the portraits of two individuals, Marcus Antonius and Lucius Antonius, who were brothers and prominent figures in ancient Rome. This is a unique feature, as most coins of that time period typically featured only one person. Additionally, the coin was minted during a time of political turmoil in Rome, just before the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar.
