Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Maximinus II (SOLI IN VICTO; Alexandria) coin is that it features the emperor Maximinus II standing on the reverse side, holding a spear and a shield, while the obverse side bears the image of the sun god Sol, which is unusual for Roman coins as the sun god was not typically depicted on coins during this time period.
