Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - an eye in the center of the obverse (front) side. This eye is believed to represent the goddess of wisdom and insight, Minerva, who was revered by the Remi people. The inclusion of this symbol suggests that the coin was intended to represent not only monetary value but also spiritual and cultural significance.
