Interesting fact
The Uncia coin from the Roman Republic (509 BC - 27 BC) has an interesting fact that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a human, specifically a depiction of the Roman goddess Libertas, which symbolized freedom and independence. This was a significant departure from earlier coins that typically featured images of animals or gods. This coin also had a unique design, with the goddess Libertas shown wearing a pileus, a symbol of liberty, on her head. This design was meant to convey the idea of Rome as a free and independent state.
