Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two emperors, Vespasian and Titus, on the same coin. This was a common practice during the Roman Empire, but it's still a unique feature that makes this coin stand out.
