Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and an image of Thaena, the Roman goddess of the moon, on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was used as a form of currency in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis. The coin's bronze composition and 9.04 gram weight also make it a unique and interesting artifact from ancient Rome.
