Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Roman Empire. The coin's inscription, "HOSPITE ET FLORO II VIR V OSCA V," translates to "Host and Flourishing, Second Man, Five Years in Osca," which highlights Tiberius' achievements and the coin's origin in Osca, a city in the Roman province of Tarraconensis.
