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 Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility, on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was likely used for everyday transactions in the Roman Empire.
