Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman soldier holding a shield and spear on one side, while the other side depicts a woman sitting on a rock, representing the Roman province of Hispania (present-day Spain). This coin was minted during the reign of Roman Emperor Augustus, who ruled from 27 BC to 14 AD, and it was used as a means of currency for everyday transactions.
