Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique spelling of the name "Volcæ Areocomici" on its inscription. Instead of the typical spelling "Volcæ Arecomici," this coin uses the spelling "Volcæ Arec" which is a rare variation. This suggests that the coin may have been produced by a different mint or at a different time than other coins with the standard spelling, making it a distinct and interesting artifact for collectors and historians.
