One interesting fact about the Denarius - Sabina (COS III) coin is that it features a portrait of Sabina, the wife of Emperor Hadrian, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts the goddess Ceres holding a sheaf of grain and a torch. This coin was minted during Hadrian's reign (117-138 AD) and was widely used throughout the Roman Empire.
