Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of the Roman Empire, on one side, and a depiction of a three-legged table, known as a "triskele," on the other. The triskele symbol was associated with the Roman god Jupiter and was believed to represent the three continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe, which were under Roman rule at the time. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was used as a standard form of currency throughout the empire.
