One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Victory (Victoria) on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Domitian (AD 81-96). The image of Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch symbolized the Roman Empire's military triumphs and victories.
