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 Panormus, the ancient city in Sicily where the coin was minted, on the other side. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by Augustus to promote his image and ideology throughout the Roman Empire.
