Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Trajan, who ruled the Roman Empire from 98 to 117 AD, on one side, and the Roman goddess Libertas, who represents freedom, on the other. This coin was minted during Trajan's reign, and it highlights the importance of the emperor's leadership and the value of freedom in Roman society during that time.
