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 representation of the goddess Ceres on the other. Ceres was an important deity in ancient Rome, associated with agriculture and fertility, and her presence on the coin may suggest that the coin was intended to promote the agricultural prosperity of the region where it was minted, Baetica (present-day southern Spain).
