Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Diobol coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Domitianus (also known as Domitian) on one side, while the other side bears the image of a bust of the goddess Isis, reflecting the cultural and religious influences of the city of Alexandria, where the coin was minted.
