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 an altar of Gauls on the other side. The altar of Gauls was a monument built by Julius Caesar to commemorate his victory over the Gallic tribes in 51 BC. The coin's design serves as a symbol of the Roman Empire's expansion and dominance over other regions.
