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 in Greek) on the other. Pax is shown holding an olive branch and a scepter, symbolizing peace and authority. This coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, which was a rare occurrence during its turbulent history.
