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 symbol of the Roman Republic, the fasces, on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which marked the transition of Rome from a republic to an empire.
