Issued on September 7, this is the fourth release in the series named "Rome on the Danube". The series recalls the days when Rome ruled the known western world and today’s Austria was part of its northern provinces.

Aguntum was established as early as 30 B.C., and was given the status of municipium by Emperor Claudius sometime in the next century. It served as an important trade center of the Roman Empire two millennia ago.

The obverse shows the portrait of Emperor Constantius II and a depiction of the remnants of a gate from the artisan quarter of Aguntum. The reverse features a scene showcasing the city as a center of trade, with both merchant and customers interacting.

Each coin comes in an attractive box with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
