Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the three consuls REMO / REMO - which sets it apart from other coins of the same era. This suggests that the coin may have been minted to commemorate a specific event or occasion, such as a military victory or a political milestone. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Remi (Gallia Belgica) adds to its historical significance, as it provides insight into the economic and political ties between different regions of the Roman Empire.
