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 the inscription "C V T T AETERNITATIS AVGVSTAE" which means "By the will of the eternal Augustus" in Latin. This inscription suggests that the coin was issued during Tiberius' reign and that it was done so under the authority of Augustus, the first Roman emperor who ruled from 27 BC to 14 AD. This coin is a representation of the Roman Empire's strong centralized power and the authority of its rulers.
