Interesting fact
The Obol coin with the caduceus symbol on it was used as a form of currency in ancient Signia (now known as Latium) during the 3rd century BC. The caduceus, which is a staff entwined with two snakes, was a symbol of commerce and trade, and it's believed that the inclusion of this symbol on the coin was meant to represent the city's strong economic ties and its role as a center of trade in the region.
