Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, who ruled from 193 to 211 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Pax (Irene) on the other side. This coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, known as the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace, which lasted from 27 BC to 180 AD.
