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 12.17 grams, making it a substantial coin that could be used for larger transactions. The fact that it was widely used in trade and commerce during that time period makes it an interesting artifact for historians and collectors.
