Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Mark Antony, who was a prominent Roman general and politician, and one of the triumvirs who ruled Rome after the death of Julius Caesar. The coin was minted during his reign as consul in 32 BC, and it is believed that the coin was used to promote his image and legitimacy as a leader. The coin's design also includes the inscription "LEG XII," which stands for "Legio XII," or "12th Legion," which was a Roman legion that Antony commanded during his military campaigns.
