Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Claudius (41-54 AD) on one side and a mythological scene with a satyr and a nymph on the other. This coin was minted during Claudius' reign and was used as a means of currency in the ancient city of Attalea, which is now modern-day Antalya, Turkey.
