Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was known for his administrative and military reforms, and his reign marked the beginning of the Roman Empire's expansion into Germany and the East. The coin's design also includes an image of his adopted son, Gemellus, who was appointed as his co-emperor in 33 AD. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the political and economic history of the Roman Empire during Tiberius' reign.
