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 pomegranate on the other. The pomegranate was a symbol of fertility and abundance in ancient Rome, and it's believed that this image was included on the coin to represent Augustus' role in bringing prosperity and abundance to the Roman Empire.
