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 the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts the goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch, symbolizing the Roman Empire's military victories and power.
