背面描述	The large monogram RCC (Remissa Ducentesima Centesimaque, or more commonly interpreted as a reference to the remission of taxes) occupies the central field in bold, raised letters. The surrounding circular legend PON M TR P III P P COS TERT runs along the periphery in Latin capitals, referencing Caligula's pontifical, tribunician, and consular titles. The reverse layout is stark and graphic, with the prominent monogram dominating the flan. The plain field around the monogram and the encircling legend are typical of Caligulan quadrans coinage of AD 39–40.

附加信息	Caligula's quadrantes of 39–40 AD are among the few Roman imperial coins to explicitly advertise the abolition of a tax — the 0.5% sales tax on auctions, the centesima rerum venalium, which Caligula remitted early in his reign as a populist gesture. The reverse legend referencing this remission made the coin itself a piece of political propaganda in the most literal sense: money announcing the end of a monetary burden.
