Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an anchor on its reverse side, which was a symbol of stability and security during ancient times. The anchor was often used on coins issued by cities located near the coast or rivers, as it represented the importance of maritime trade and navigation. The use of the anchor on this coin from Suessiones (Gallia Belgica) suggests that the city was likely involved in significant trade and economic activities, and the coin may have been used to facilitate these transactions.
