Comment
Weight varies from 1592.50g-1618.39gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Aes Signatum coin is that it was one of the first coins to feature a standardized design, with the image of a Roman god or goddess on one side and a unique symbol or mark on the other, which helped to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the coin's authenticity.
