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 goddess, possibly Ceres or Livia, on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire.
