Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Maximinus II, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his achievements, his reign was marked by controversy and he was eventually assassinated by his own soldiers in 313 AD. This coin, minted during his reign, provides a glimpse into the political and economic climate of the Roman Empire during this time period.
