The reverse refers to the cult of Augusti Providentia said to have a dedicated altar in Emerita.Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ27 - Tiberius (14-37) from Emerita (Lusitania) made of Bronze weighing 10.47g, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. It is considered a "standard circulation coin" because it was widely used during the Roman Empire and was minted in large quantities. However, due to its age and rarity, it is now highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction. In fact, a similar coin in good condition sold for over $10,000 at a recent auction!
