Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the 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 inscription, "MVN AVGVSTA BILBILIS G MANL SERANO MANL BVCCO II VIR," indicates that it was minted in the city of Bilbilis, which was located in the Roman province of Tarraconensis (modern-day Spain). The use of bronze as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
