Interesting fact
The reverse side of the coin features an image of the Roman goddess Victory (Trophaea) standing on a globe, holding a wreath and a palm branch. This design was meant to symbolize the Roman Empire's military victories and the idea of victory being "invincible" (INVICTO), as reflected in the coin's inscription.
