Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Octavian (later known as Augustus Caesar) on one side and the goddess Pax (Irene in Greek) on the other. This coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, and the image of Pax was meant to symbolize the peaceful reign of Octavian.
