Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the Roman emperor, on one side, and the goddess Pax (Iulia) on the other. Pax Iulia, also known as Lusitania, was a Roman province in what is now modern-day Portugal, and this coin was likely used in everyday transactions within that province.
