Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare representation of the Roman goddess Juno on the reverse, while the obverse bears the image of Emperor Trebonianus Gallus. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, known as the Crisis of the Third Century, and its production was likely overseen by the Roman mint in Rome. Despite its age, this coin remains in relatively good condition, with clear details and minimal wear, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
