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 and inscription, including the abbreviation "MVNICIP CASCANTVM" (Municipium Cascantum), suggest that it was issued by the Roman municipality of Cascantum in the province of Tarraconensis (modern-day Spain). The use of bronze as the material for the coin was also a common practice during this time period.
