One interesting fact about the Denarius - Vespasian (IMP XIX) (77-78) coin is that it features a portrait of the Roman emperor Vespasian on one side, while the other side depicts the goddess Victory standing on a globe, holding a wreath and a palm branch. This symbolism represents the Roman Empire's dominance and victory under Vespasian's rule.
