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 bull on the other. This is significant because the bull was a symbol of strength and fertility in ancient Roman culture, and its inclusion on the coin may have been meant to convey the power and prosperity of the Roman Empire under Augustus' rule.
