Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the portraits of both Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, and Agrippa, a close friend and advisor to Augustus, on the same coin. This is a unique feature, as most coins of that time period only featured the portrait of a single ruler. It highlights the importance of Agrippa in Roman history and the close relationship between the two men.
