Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Tiberius, who ruled the Roman Empire from 14 AD to 37 AD, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts the goddess Roma seated on a throne, holding a scepter and a shield. This design was common on many Roman coins during Tiberius' reign and symbolized the power and authority of the Roman Empire.
