Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and the goddess Livia, his wife, on the other. This coin was minted during his reign, which marked the beginning of the Roman Empire and the end of the Roman Republic.
