Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of the Roman Empire, on one side, and a symbol of the Roman state, the SPQR (Senatus Populusque Romanus) on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the empire.
