Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side bears a depiction of a Greek goddess, likely Hera or Athena, while the reverse (back) side features a Roman-style wreath surrounding a central dot. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of Central Italy during the 3rd century BC, when Greek and Roman civilizations were interacting and influencing each other in various ways.
