Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an imitation of a Roman Republic Denarius, which was a popular coin used in ancient Rome. The Dacian tribes who created this coin were likely influenced by the Roman Empire and its currency, and they may have used this coin as a form of trade or tribute. Despite being an imitation, the coin still holds historical significance and provides insight into the cultural exchange and economic systems of the time.
