Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Gordian III, who ruled from 238 to 244 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Athena on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, with Gordian III facing challenges from external threats such as the Sassanid Persians and internal conflicts within the empire. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Gordian III's reign is known for its high quality and artistic value, making it a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
