Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Assarion (Semi-autonomous issue; Pergamon) (41-68) from City of Pergamum (Conventus of Pergamum) made of Bronze weighing 3.5 g is that it features the image of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and the Roman emperor Claudius on the other. This coin was issued during the Roman Empire and is a rare example of a coin that was minted in a semi-autonomous manner, meaning that it was not directly controlled by the Roman central government.
