Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient cultures. The Suessetani people, who lived in the area now known as Bulgaria, were known for their skill in metalworking and trade, and this coin reflects their cultural influence. The coin's design includes elements of both Thracian and Roman culture, reflecting the multicultural nature of the region during that time period.
