Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a woman on one side, which is believed to be a representation of the Roman goddess Clementia, who was associated with mercy and clemency. This is notable because it was unusual for coins of that time period to feature a female figure, and it suggests that the Roman Republic was beginning to recognize the importance of women in society. Additionally, the coin's design and imagery reflect the political and cultural shifts that were taking place in Rome during this time period, making it a valuable historical artifact.
