Interesting fact
The Uncia coin was used in ancient Rome and was equivalent to 1/12 of a Roman pound. It was a widely used denomination and was often featured in financial transactions and trade. The coin's design typically featured the image of a god or goddess, such as Jupiter or Venus, and was inscribed with the name of the Roman Republic. The Uncia coin was also used as a standard unit of measurement for weight and value, and its use can be traced back to the early days of the Roman Republic.
