Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Augustus, the first emperor of ancient Rome, on one side, and a depiction of a Roman warship on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was likely used as a means of promoting his image and legacy throughout the Roman Empire.
