Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Maximinus Daia, who was known for his military campaigns and his attempts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his efforts, his reign ultimately ended in his assassination in 307 AD. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of his brief but significant impact on Roman history.
