Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Tiberius, who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD, on one side, and the Greek inscription "ΘEOΣ ΣEBAΣTOΣ" (meaning "God Augustus") on the other side, highlighting the blending of Roman and Greek cultures during the Roman occupation of Egypt.
