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 a quadriga, or four-horse chariot, on the other. This design was meant to symbolize Augustus' victory and leadership, as well as the power and prestige of the Roman Empire. Additionally, the coin's bronze composition and relatively small weight of 2.63 grams make it a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians.
