Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an 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 stabilize the Roman Empire after the death of his adoptive father and predecessor, Augustus. The coin's design and inscription, including the abbreviation "MVNICIP GRACCVRRIS" (Municipium Graccurris), suggest that it was issued by the Roman municipality of Graccurris in the province of Tarraconensis, which is now modern-day Spain.
