Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire after the death of his adoptive father and predecessor, Augustus. The coin's design may have been meant to promote Tiberius' image as a strong and capable leader, and its circulation in the region of Baetica (modern-day Spain) suggests that it was used as a means of exchange and commerce in the region.
