One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, on one side, and Lentulus Spinther, a Roman politician, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political turmoil in Rome, and the image of Libertas may have been a symbol of the desire for freedom and independence from the Roman Republic.
