Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Salus on the other. Salus was the goddess of safety and well-being, which was an appropriate choice for a coin that was used in everyday transactions. The coin's design reflects the importance of the Roman Empire's leadership and the desire for prosperity and security during Tiberius' reign.
