Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman emperor, likely Claudius (PON M TR P P P COS III), who ruled from 41 to 54 AD. This means that the coin was minted during his reign, making it over 2,000 years old! Despite its age, the coin has been well-preserved and is still in circulation among collectors today.
