Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Severus Alexander, who was only 13 years old when he became emperor, making him one of the youngest emperors in Roman history. Despite his young age, he ruled for 13 years and implemented several significant reforms, including the creation of a new senate and the establishment of a permanent Roman navy.
