Interesting fact
The Augustus (Wreath) coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Roman Empire to commemorate the reign of Emperor Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). The coin features a portrait of Augustus on one side and a wreath on the other, symbolizing his role as the first Roman Emperor and the unity of the Roman people. The coin was minted in Corinth (Achaea), which was an important city in ancient Greece and a major center for trade and commerce. Despite being made of bronze, a relatively common metal at the time, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance.
