Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first Roman Emperor, Augustus, on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side depicts the goddess of victory, Victoria, holding a trophy and a wreath. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Maximianus (also known as Maximian), who ruled the Roman Empire from 286 to 305 AD. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the Roman Empire's military victories and the power of its rulers.
