Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of ancient Rome, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Parium on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was used as a means of currency in the Roman province of Macedonia. Despite being made of bronze, a relatively inexpensive material, this coin is considered a valuable artifact among collectors and historians today.
