One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Securitas, which represents security and stability, on the reverse side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of political or economic uncertainty, and the inclusion of Securitas was a way to promote a sense of stability and reassurance among the population.
