Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Caracalla, who ruled from 211 to 217 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Diana on the other. This coin was minted during Caracalla's reign and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman Empire.
