Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Marcus Aurelius Divus (CONSECRATIO) (180) coin is that it features an image of Marcus Aurelius on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side depicts a scene of the goddess Roma seated on a throne, holding a scepter and a shield. This design was a common motif in Roman coinage during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, who ruled the Roman Empire from 161 to 180 AD. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight of 2.9 grams also make it a notable example of Roman coinage during this period.
