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 Pompey the Great, a famous Roman general and statesman, on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and it highlights the close relationship between Augustus and Pompey, who were both prominent figures in the Roman Empire during that time.
