Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first Roman emperor to be depicted with a beard, Vespasian. This was a departure from the traditional clean-shaven image of Roman emperors and signaled a shift in the cultural and political landscape of the Roman Empire.
