Comment
The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.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 different culture, the coin still bears a strong resemblance to the Roman Denarius, indicating a level of cultural exchange and influence between the two societies. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver suggests that the Germanic tribes had access to valuable resources and were able to produce coins of a high standard.
