Comment
Classical Numismatic Group 60 (2002), 1735 (same dies). Gorny & Mosch 269 (2020), 1099 (same dies).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pescennius Niger, who was a usurper of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century AD. Despite being a legitimate emperor, Niger's rule was not recognized by the Roman Senate, and his coins were not widely accepted as legal tender. As a result, this coin is considered a rare and valuable artifact among collectors of ancient Roman coins.
