Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Geta coin is that it features a rare portrait of the Roman Emperor Geta, who ruled alongside his father Septimius Severus and his brother Caracalla. Geta's reign was marked by political turmoil and tension between him and his brother, which ultimately led to his assassination in 212 AD. As a result, coins bearing his image are relatively scarce and highly sought after by collectors.
