Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Maximianus, who was known for his military campaigns and his attempts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his efforts, he ultimately committed suicide in 310 AD after being defeated by his rival, Constantine. This coin was minted during his reign, making it a rare and valuable piece of history.
