Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare representation of Julia Titi, the daughter of Titus, on the reverse side. She is depicted standing next to her father, who is seated on a throne, and is shown holding a scepter and a small statue of Victory. This image is significant because it highlights the importance of Julia Titi as a member of the imperial family and suggests that she may have played a more prominent role in Roman politics than previously thought. Additionally, the coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
