Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts the goddess Livia, who was his mother and the wife of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor. This coin was minted during Tiberius' reign, which lasted from 14 AD to 37 AD, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire.
