Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, the Roman emperor who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the Roman goddess Libertas on the other. This coin was minted during Tiberius' reign and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Roman Empire.
