Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of a camp gate on the other. This design was used to symbolize Augustus' role as a military leader and the coin's minting location in the Roman province of Lusitania (modern-day Portugal).
