Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and the letters "CAESARAVGVSTA" on the other, which stands for "Caesar Augustus, son of a god." This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman Empire.
