Found in BritainInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an example of a "barbarous imitation" coin, meaning it was created by a non-Roman culture that was imitating Roman coins. This coin, specifically, was created by the Minim, a Germanic tribe that lived in what is now modern-day Germany and Austria. Despite being an imitation, the coin still holds historical value as it shows the influence of Roman culture on other civilizations during that time period.
