Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman consul, Titus Quinctius Flamininus, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Roma on the other. This coin was minted during Flamininus' consulship in 196 BC and is considered a rare and valuable artifact from the Roman Republic era.
