Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Titus, who was the emperor of Rome from 79 to 81 AD, and his reign was marked by several significant events, including the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
