Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Concordia on the reverse side, which symbolizes the unity and harmony of the Roman people and their rulers. This image was particularly significant during the reign of Severus Alexander and Sallustia Orbiana, as it represented the desire for peace and stability within the empire during a time of political turmoil and conflict.
