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 bust of Agrippa, a close friend and advisor to Augustus, on the other side. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which marked the beginning of the Roman Empire and the end of the Roman Republic.
