Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the Roman goddess Germania on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was expanding its territories and influence, and the image of Germania symbolizes the empire's growing power and influence in the region. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 3.47 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
