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 phrase "RECTO ET MACRINO AED TVRIA," reflect the political and cultural influences of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of bronze and weighs 4.1 grams suggests that it was a widely circulating coin used in everyday transactions, providing a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the Roman Empire during Tiberius' reign.
