Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of the Roman goddess Libertas on the other. This coin was minted during Tiberius' reign, which lasted from 14 AD to 37 AD, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Roman province of Lusitania, which is now modern-day Portugal.
