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 one side, and an image of his adopted son and successor, Caligula, on the other side. This coin was minted during a time of significant political tension and power struggles within the Roman Empire, and its design reflects the complex dynamics of the imperial family and succession during that period.
