Interesting fact
The Assarion coin was used in the ancient Roman province of Moesia Inferior, which is now modern-day Bulgaria. The coin features an image of the Roman emperor Assarion, who ruled from 138 to 180 AD. Despite being made of bronze, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and the fact that it has been well-preserved over the centuries.
