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 common for coins issued during Augustus' reign and symbolized his efforts to expand and strengthen the Roman Empire through military conquests and naval power.
