Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of a Roman warship on the other. This design was meant to symbolize the power and influence of the Roman Empire, and the coin's small size and bronze material made it accessible to the average citizen.
