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 was minted in the city of Emerita, which is now known as Mérida, in the autonomous community of Extremadura, Spain. The coin's design features an image of Tiberius on one side and an image of a Roman goddess on the other. The use of bronze in the coin's minting was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and durable material.
