Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 AD, on one side, and an image of the goddess Julia Augusta, Nero's mother, on the other side. This coin was minted during Nero's reign and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman Empire.
