Comment
The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an imitation of a Roman coin, specifically the Tiberius coin, which was issued by the Roman Empire from 14 to 37 AD. The fact that it was imitated by a Germanic tribe suggests that there was a strong cultural exchange and influence between the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes during that time period. Additionally, the use of bronze as the material for the coin suggests that it was a widely available and accessible material for coinage during that time.
