Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Pax (Irene in Greek) on the reverse, which is fitting since Nerva's reign was marked by a period of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire.
