Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare mintage of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. The coin was minted in Bilbilis, which is now known as Calatayud, in the province of Zaragoza, Spain. The coin's design includes the emperor's name, TI CAESARE, and the name of the mint, BILBILIS, on the reverse side. Additionally, the coin's weight of 10.19 grams suggests that it was made of bronze, which was a common material used for coins during that time period.
