Interesting fact
The Gold 25 Asses coin from Populonia (Etruria) is notable for its unique design, which features a male head on the obverse (front side) and a horse on the reverse (back side). This design was used for a short period of time during the late Roman Republic, and it's believed to be a symbol of the wealth and power of the Roman Empire at that time.
