Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Numerianus as Caesar, which is quite rare as he was only a short-lived emperor, ruling from 283 to 284 AD. Despite his brief reign, the coinage bearing his image is considered highly valuable among collectors due to its historical significance and rarity.
