Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus coin is that it was issued during the reign of Julius Caesar, who was the Roman dictator at the time. The coin features an image of Caesar on one side and the Roman goddess Venus on the other, symbolizing the power and prosperity of the Roman Republic under Caesar's leadership.
