Interesting fact
The Masonsa (Cessetani people) coin was part of a currency system that was used in the ancient region of Cessetania, which is now modern-day Spain. The coin was used during the 2nd century BC and was a standard unit of exchange for goods and services. It's fascinating to think that this coin was used by people in their everyday lives over 2,000 years ago!
