Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three Roman emperors - Geta, Septimius Severus, and Caracalla - on one side, which was a rare occurrence in Roman coinage. This coin was minted during a period of political instability in the Roman Empire, and the inclusion of multiple emperors on the coin may have been a way to emphasize the unity and stability of the empire. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 2.8 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
