Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first emperor of the Roman Empire, on one side, and a depiction of a galley on the other. The galley was a symbol of the Roman navy and represented the power and military prowess of the Roman Empire. The coin was minted in Acci (Tarraconensis), which is now modern-day Spain, and was likely used for everyday transactions and trade.
