Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was known for his extensive military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Roman state. The coin's design, which includes the inscription "AETERNITATI AVGVSTAE" (Eternity of the Augusti), reflects the Roman belief in the divine nature of the emperor and the idea that the emperor's rule was eternal.
