Details

Edition: approx. 3000 Weight approx: 9 gr About 2,000 years ago, tough Roman soldiers guarded the "Limes" (border) on the northern side of the Roman Empire. Another part of the defensive wall can be recognized at Tolkamer, the Drususdam. Roman coins are still regularly found during excavations, reason enough to give the Roman coin a new lease of life. That is why the Municipality of Rijnwaarden has its own Roman coin, called Drususmunt, from October 4, 2012. This coin is not an official currency, but it is very valuable. The participating companies have each devised their own discount campaign with which they can distribute the coins to their customers. Participants also indicate the conditions under which customers can return the coin to them.
