Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and the letters "IIII VIR EX D D" on the other, which stands for "IIII Vir Ex Decreto Dedit," meaning "Four times chosen by decree," referring to Augustus's election as consul for the fourth time.
