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. Despite being a bronze coin, it has a relatively high weight of 15.45 grams, which suggests that it may have been an important or special coin during its time. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Astypalaea, which is now a small island in Greece, highlights the extensive reach of the Roman Empire and its influence on local currencies.
