Interesting fact

The 1 Triens coin from Tuder (Umbria) was used as a form of currency in ancient Italy, specifically in the region of Umbria, during the 3rd century BC. It was made of bronze and weighed 91.11 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. The coin's design featured the image of a bull on one side and a dolphin on the other, which were symbols of strength and prosperity in ancient Italian culture. Despite its age, some of these coins have been well-preserved and are now highly sought after by collectors and historians.
