Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Maximinus II (also known as Maximinus Daia) on one side, and a depiction of the Roman goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during Maximinus II's reign, which lasted from 311 to 312 AD, and was likely used as a form of currency throughout the Roman Empire.
