Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two emperors, Hadrian and Sabina, on the same coin. This was a unusual practice in Roman coinage, as coins typically featured only one emperor per side. The fact that this coin features both Hadrian and Sabina suggests that they were co-ruling together, which was a rare occurrence in Roman history.
