Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first Roman Emperor, Augustus, on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side bears the image of a trophy and the inscription "GLORIA EXERCITVS," which translates to "Glory of the Army." This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Dalmatius (335-337 AD) and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the military and political achievements of the Roman Empire during that time.
