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 quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses) on the other. This coin was minted in 30 BC, during Augustus' reign, and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman Empire.
