Interesting fact
The 1 Quadrans coin from Tuder (Umbria) features a unique design element - a series of separated dots, known as "puncta," on the reverse side. These dots were used to help distinguish the coin from other denominations and to make it easier for people to count and verify the coin's value. This feature is a notable example of early coinage design and technology.
