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 a Roman galley on the other. The galley was a symbol of Roman military power and the coin's design may have been meant to emphasize Augustus's role as a military leader and the expansion of the Roman Empire under his rule.
