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 as a means of promoting his image and authority throughout the Roman Empire.
