Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Agrippina II, who was a powerful and influential Roman empress, on one side, and an image of the goddess Eirene (Irene) on the other. This coin was minted during her reign (50-59 AD) and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman Empire.
