Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Felicitas, who represents good luck or happiness, on one side, and an image of the Roman Emperor Hadrian on the other side. This coin was minted during Hadrian's third consulship, which was a significant event in Roman history.
