Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Tiberius, who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD, on one side, and the mythical creature, the Abderitan snake-legged horse, on the other side. The Abderitan snake-legged horse was a symbol of the city of Abdera, where the coin was minted. This coin is a rare example of a Roman coin that features a mythical creature, making it a unique and valuable addition to any coin collection.
