The coin depicts the revered Goddess Juno Sospita, a prominent figure in Roman mythology and religion. In this close-up image, we are presented with a stunning portrayal of Juno's head on a grey background. The craftsmanship of this piece is truly remarkable, as every intricate detail is brought to life with vibrant colors and exquisite metalwork.
