Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who is known for introducing the largest and most comprehensive currency reform in the history of the Roman Empire. This reform, known as the "Edict on Maximum Prices," was issued in 301 AD and aimed to combat inflation and stabilize the economy. The coin itself was minted during this time period and features the image of Diocletian, highlighting his importance in Roman history.
