Interesting fact
The Semis coin from the Untikesken gens (Indigetes people) has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was a common design element in ancient coins. This hole was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing the coin to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This shows that the coin was not only used as a means of exchange but also held cultural or spiritual significance for the people who used it.
