Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Victory (Victoria) on the reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Augustus. The image of Victory was meant to symbolize the power and dominance of the Roman Empire, and it was often depicted holding a wreath or a palm branch, as seen on this particular coin.
