Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of Julius Caesar, his adoptive father and predecessor, on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was likely used as a way to promote his image and legacy.
