Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Commodus, who was known for his vanity and ego. In fact, he was known to have renamed the month of August after himself, and this coin was minted during his reign. Additionally, the reverse side of the coin features the goddess Victory, which was a common motif on Roman coins, symbolizing the power and dominance of the Roman Empire.
