Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Tiberius, who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD, on one side, and the Greek inscription "ΘΕΟϹ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟϹ ΕΛΕΥΘΕ" (which means "God Augustus, Liberator") on the other side. This coin was minted in the city of Eleutherna, which was located in the Roman province of Cyrenaica and Crete, and was made of silver, weighing 2.43 grams.
