Interesting fact

The ¼ Quinarius coin from Vangiones was used as a form of currency in ancient Central and Eastern Europe, specifically in the region that is now modern-day Poland. It was made of silver and weighed 0.32 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin of its size and time period. Despite its small size, the coin was an important part of the ancient economy and was used for everyday transactions.
