Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during a time of significant cultural and political change in Central Italy. The 3rd century BC was a period of great urbanization and economic growth in the region, and the production of coins like this one reflects the increasing importance of trade and commerce. Additionally, the use of bronze in the coin's construction suggests that it was intended for everyday use, rather than being a ceremonial or commemorative coin.
