Interesting commemorative coin dedicated to local rites in Antique finish and beautiful condition. Despite of later Christianization the rite celebrates the beginning of autumn in the pagan traditions. During the celebration a new fire should be obtained by friction of two pieces of wood or stones. In both cases it reflects the initial representation of the sun between two mountains, which is part of explanation of total solar eclipse.
