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 the goddess Eternity on the other. The coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and was used as a means of spreading propaganda and promoting the idea of the Roman Empire as an eternal and divine institution.
