Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. The coin features an image of Tiberius on one side and the name "COL AVGVSTA EMERITA" on the other, indicating that it was minted in the city of Emerita, which is now modern-day Mérida, Spain. The use of bronze in the coin's production was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable material.
