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 10.43 grams, making it a substantial coin that could purchase a significant amount of goods and services. The coin features an image of a king or emperor on one side and an image of a god or goddess on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the ruling dynasty. The coin's design and inscriptions also reflect the cultural and religious beliefs of the people who used it. Despite its age, the Tetradrachm remains an important piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
