Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Sabina coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Juno on the reverse side, while the obverse side bears the image of the empress Sabina, wife of Emperor Hadrian. This coin was minted during a time when women were increasingly being featured on Roman coins, reflecting their growing influence in society and politics.
