Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor, on one side, and an image of the goddess Abdera, after whom the city of Abdera was named, on the other side. This coin was minted during Tiberius' reign, which lasted from 14 AD to 37 AD, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Roman Empire.
