The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was created by the Uncertain Germanic tribes, who were known for their skill in metalworking and their ability to create high-quality imitations of Roman coins. Despite being made by a Germanic tribe, the coin still bears the image of Augustus, indicating a level of cultural exchange and influence between the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and important coin in its time.
