Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Crispus coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Providentia on one side, which symbolizes the idea of foresight and planning for the future.

The coin's design serves as a reflection of the values and ideals of the Roman Empire during that time period.
