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's inscription "AETERNITATI AVGVSTAE" translates to "Eternal Majesty" and was a title given to Tiberius during his reign. Additionally, the coin was minted in Emerita, which was a Roman province in modern-day Spain, and was made of bronze, a common material used for coins during that time period.
