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 assassination of Julius Caesar. The coin was minted in 37 BC, during Antony's third consulship, and it highlights his title "III VIR R PC", which stands for "Triumvir for the Reorganization of the Republic". This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the political and economic history of the Roman Republic during the late 1st century BC.
