@11:57 in the video reminds me of this reverse.

My version looks like someone was asleep at the mint

 

Yes, it does look rather like it, apart from those arch-like things at either end of the bridge on the coin. It makes me think of a modern suspension bridge, but I'm pretty sure the romans weren't using those, and anyways no sign of any suspension.

The bridge on the coin is sometimes identified as the Milvian bridge, but that (normally at least) would have been a stone bridge while the one the coin, with it's flat bottom, looks more like wooden construction. It's interesting the way the bridge supports on the coin jut out to either side so far... I wouldn't really expect that if they were stone, so maybe it is showing a floating pontoon bridge same as in the video ?
