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 galley on the other. The galley was a symbol of the Roman navy and represented the power and influence of the Roman Empire. Additionally, the coin's bronze composition and relatively small weight of 9.12 grams made it a practical and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions during the Roman Empire.
