Interesting fact
The coin , a bronze Æ coin from Corinth (Achaea) featuring Augustus (Julius Caesar) and dating back to 27 BC - 26 BC, is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists. Its rarity is due to the fact that it was minted during a short period of time, specifically during Augustus' reign, and its survival rate is low due to the passage of time and the fragility of bronze as a material. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auctions.
