Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Libertas, who represents freedom and liberty, on its reverse side. This is significant because it highlights the importance of individual freedom and autonomy in Roman culture and society during the time period in which the coin was minted. Additionally, the coin's design, which includes the goddess standing on a rocky outcropping and holding a torch and a scepter, serves as a symbol of the Roman Empire's power and influence.
