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 is a abbreviation of his full title "CAESAR AUGUSTUS" meaning "Emperor Augustus". This coin was minted in 6 BC in the city of Caesaraugusta, which is now known as Zaragoza, Spain.
