Roman coins of small denominations (and these look like quadrans (Roman) or obols (Greek) - very tiny copper coins) were minted in the provinces and used by the common people. They naturally had inscriptions in the local languages and pictures of the local gods. You'll find pictures of Serapis and Isis on Roman Egyptian coins, etc. In the entire east, the coinage was based on the Greek system of 1 drachma = 1 Roman denarius.
But a coin is not an "official record" - it's a medium of exchange.
