Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a depiction of the Roman goddess Germania on the reverse side, which is a rare representation of a provincial deity on Roman coinage. This suggests that the coin may have been specifically minted for circulation in the Roman province of Germania, and could provide insight into the cultural and religious practices of the region during the 2nd century AD.
