Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the eye of the goddess Pottina. The coin's designer, an artist named C. Poblicius, added this feature to symbolize the goddess's ability to see into the future and protect the coin's owner. This eye motif is not found on any other coins from the same time period, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
