Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Florian Medallion coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Moneta, who was the goddess of money and finance. This image was fitting for a coin that was used as a standard circulation coin during the Roman Empire. Additionally, the coin's name, "Florian," is derived from the Latin word "flos," meaning "flower," which was a symbol of prosperity and abundance in ancient Rome.
