The ancient coin, dating back to 107 AD and minted under Emperor Trajan, boasts a depiction of Juno Moneta, the goddess associated with money, as well as imagery of minting tools on its surface.

這枚古幣的歷史可以追溯到公元 107 年，由圖拉真皇帝鑄造，硬幣表面描繪了與金錢相關的女神朱諾·莫內塔 (Juno Moneta)，並刻有鑄造工具的圖案。

Nigel Mills, Coins and Artefacts Specialist at Noonans, exclaimed: "The coin was issued by the Emperor Trajan in AD 107 after he had recalled all the worn Republican coins from circulation.

努南斯 (Noonans) 硬幣和文物專家奈傑爾·米爾斯 (Nigel Mills) 感嘆道：「這枚硬幣是圖拉真皇帝於公元 107 年召回所有已磨損的共和國硬幣後發行的。

"Only two examples of this specific type have been recorded for sale in the last 25 years. Some of the coins in circulation dated back over 300 years and they provided a historical record of the achievements of the Roman Empire.

「在過去 25 年裡，只有兩枚這種特定類型的硬幣有記錄出售。一些流通的硬幣可以追溯到 300 多年前，它們提供了羅馬帝國成就的歷史記錄。

"Trajan issued a limited number of coins which recalled some of the events from the past. This coin uses the same imagery as an issue by the moneyer Titus Carisius in 46 BC.

「圖拉真發行了數量有限的硬幣，讓人回想起過去的一些事件。這枚硬幣使用了與公元前 46 年貨幣商人提圖斯·卡里修斯 (Titus Carisius) 發行的相同的圖像。

"Titus was an ally of Julius Caesar, and this design features a bust of Juno Moneta on the obverse, with pincers, hammer and dies for striking coins on the reverse. A coin showing how a coin is made!"

「提圖斯是朱利葉斯·凱撒的盟友，該設計的正面是朱諾·莫內塔的半身像，背面有鉗子、錘子和用於敲打硬幣的模具。一枚硬幣展示了硬幣的製作過程！ 」
