One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Julius Caesar, who was the first Roman general to be depicted on a coin while still alive. This was a bold move, as it was seen as a way for Caesar to promote his own image and power, and it was a departure from the traditional Roman practice of featuring gods or goddesses on coins. The coin's design also includes a trophy, which symbolizes Caesar's military victories.
