Interesting fact
The Hemilitron coin features a unique design element - a small bronze ring attached to the coin's center, which was used as a counterweight to help the coin stay balanced when used as a measure of weight. This feature is not seen in many other ancient coins, making the Hemilitron a standout example of early coinage technology.
