One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Liberty (Liber) on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during this period. The image of Liberty was meant to symbolize the idea of freedom and the Roman Empire's commitment to protecting and promoting liberty throughout its territories.
