Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Plautilla and Caracalla (CONCORDIA FELIX) coin is that it features the first Roman empress, Plautilla, on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side bears the image of the Roman goddess of concord, Concordia, which is an unusual representation for a Roman coin. This suggests that the coin may have been minted to commemorate a specific event or occasion during the reign of Emperor Caracalla, such as a marriage or a military victory.
