Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Sol Invictus, which was a symbol of the Roman sun god, on the obverse (front) side. This image was used to promote the idea of the emperor as a divine and powerful leader, and it was a common motif on coins during the Roman Empire.
