Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of the Roman Emperor Commodus, who was known for his vanity and excesses. The coin's design includes a radiate crown, which symbolizes the emperor's divine status, and a cuirass, which represents his military prowess. Despite his controversial reign, Commodus' coinage remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
