Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Severus Alexander, who was a Roman emperor during the 3rd century AD. Despite his relatively short reign, he made significant reforms to the Roman Empire, including the establishment of a new system of taxation and the strengthening of the Roman military. Additionally, he was known for his tolerance of Christianity, which was a minority religion at the time, and his efforts to promote peace and stability throughout the empire.
