Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the portraits of two Roman emperors, Septimius Severus and Caracalla, on opposite sides. This was a common practice during the Roman Empire, known as "double-headed" coins, and was used to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers.
