Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was created by the Uncertain Germanic tribes, who were known for their skill in metalworking and their ability to create high-quality imitations of Roman coins. Despite being made by a tribal society, this coin is nearly indistinguishable from official Roman issue coins of the time, showcasing the impressive craftsmanship of the Germanic tribes.
