Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the portrait of Octavius (later known as Augustus Caesar) on one side, and Julius Caesar on the other. This is significant because it highlights the political alliance between the two leaders, who were uncle and nephew, and their shared power and influence during that time.
