Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Libertas (Liberality) on the reverse side, which was a common motif during the reign of Emperor Philippus I and his son Philippus II. The image of Libertas symbolized the idea of freedom and generosity, which was an important value in Roman culture.
