Interesting fact
The Dupondius - Crispina coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD) to honor the women of his family, including his wife Faustina the Elder and his daughter Lucilla. The coin featuring Crispina, who was Marcus Aurelius' daughter and Lucilla's sister, is particularly rare and valuable among collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance.
