Interesting fact
The 1 Triens 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 in its beak. This image is believed to represent the city's mythical founder, Stork, who was said to have been born from an egg laid by a stork and went on to found the city of Iguvium. This design is a distinctive feature of the coin and sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
