Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a lion's head on one side and a fulmen (a lightning bolt) on the other. This combination has led some historians to suggest that the coin may have been used as a form of propaganda, promoting the idea of the city's strength and power.
