Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony and unity, on its reverse side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, and that the ruling powers wanted to promote a message of unity and cooperation among the population.
