Interesting fact
The 1 Quadrans coin from Iguvium (Umbria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stork standing on a rocky outcrop, with its wings outstretched and a snake coiled around its leg. This design is believed to symbolize the city's connection to the goddess Juno, who was revered as the protector of childbirth and women. The stork was also seen as a symbol of fertility and new life, further emphasizing the coin's connection to Juno's realm.
