Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Vespasian, who was the Roman Emperor from 69 AD to 79 AD. Vespasian was known for his extensive reforms and military campaigns, and this coin may have been used to finance some of those efforts. Additionally, the fact that it was made of bronze and weighs 9.76g suggests that it was a widely circulating coin that was used in everyday transactions.
