Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Clementia on the reverse side, which was a personification of the virtue of clemency or mercy. This was a common theme in Roman coinage during the reign of Antoninus Pius, who was known for his benevolent and merciful rule. The image of Clementia on this coin serves as a symbol of the emperor's commitment to these values and his desire to promote them throughout the empire.
