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 "NVS IIIIVIR" on the other, which stands for "Nova Roma," meaning "New Rome" in Latin, indicating the coin's issuance during the Roman Empire's expansion into North Africa.
