Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Roman elements. The coin's obverse (front) side features the image of a Roman emperor, likely Emperor Septimius Severus, while the reverse (back) side features a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena. This blending of cultural influences reflects the multicultural nature of the Roman Empire during this time period.
