Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Roman and indigenous designs. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a portrait of Augustus Caesar, while the reverse (back) side features a stylized image of a bull, which was a symbol of the Turiaso region. This blending of Roman and local motifs reflects the cultural exchange and assimilation that occurred during the Roman Empire's expansion into new territories.
