Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from East Noricum (Kingdom of Noricum) was used as a means of payment and exchange during the time of the Roman Empire. It was made of silver and weighed 10.11 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a king on one side and an image of a goddess on the other, symbolizing the dual power structure of the kingdom. Additionally, the coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and political influences of the time, making it a valuable artifact for historians and collectors.
