Interesting fact
The Cessetani people were a tribe that lived in what is now modern-day Spain, and their coin, the TiKi, was used as a form of currency during their time. One interesting fact about the TiKi is that it was made of bronze, which was a significant material at the time, and it weighed 8.5 grams, which was a standard weight for coins of its kind. This coin was used for everyday transactions and was a symbol of the Cessetani people's economic and cultural development.
