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 obverse side shows Commodus wearing a laurel wreath and a stern expression, while the reverse side depicts the goddess Victory holding a trophy and a palm branch. This coin was minted during Commodus' reign, which lasted from 180 to 192 AD, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
