It's the first coin struck in Lyon mint and maybe the rarest. It commemorates the fundation of Copia Felix Munatia, the first Roman name of Lyon. This coin was discovered in 2002 during an archaeological excavation on the pseudo-temple of Cybele at Lyon.
For the moment, this coin isn't presented in exhibition halls.
