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 on the other. This is significant because Augustus and Pompey were once political rivals, but later became allies and close friends. The coin's design may have been intended to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two leaders.
