Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Caligula, who was known for his controversial and often tyrannical rule, yet the coin's inscription describes him as "C I G ACCI L I II" which means "Caligula, son of the divine Augustus" suggesting an attempt to legitimize his rule and connect him to the previous emperor Augustus.
