Interesting fact
The Aureus - Probus coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD), who was known for his extensive military campaigns and agricultural reforms. One of the most notable features of this coin is the image of the goddess Clementia on the reverse side, which symbolizes the Roman Empire's clemency and mercy towards its citizens. This coin is a rare and valuable example of Roman gold coinage from the 3rd century AD, and its preservation in such good condition is a testament to the advanced minting techniques used by the Roman Empire at the time.
