Interesting fact
The Quincunx was a coin used in ancient Rome, and it was the first coin to feature the image of a Roman consul. The Quincunx coin was introduced in 210 BC and was used until 175 BC. The coin was made of bronze and had a distinctive design, with five dots (or "quincunx") on one side and the image of a consul on the other. The Quincunx coin was an important part of Roman currency and was used for everyday transactions. I hope you find this information helpful!
