Interesting fact
The 1 Quadrans coin from Tuder (Umbria) features a unique design element - grouped dots - which were used to help the visually impaired identify the coin's denomination. This feature was particularly useful in ancient times when many people were illiterate and relied on tactile markers to distinguish between different coins.
