One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was known for his administrative and military reforms, and his reign marked the beginning of the Roman Empire's expansion into Germany and the East. The coin's inscription, "T QVINCTIVS CRISPINV IIIVIR A A A F F S C," refers to Tiberius' title as Tribune of the Plebeians, which was a powerful political office in ancient Rome.
