What was the first commemorative coin minted?

I know that the U.S has only been minting commemorative since the Columbian Exposition in 1893, but when were the first commemoratives minted?

Roman times, search the forum there has to be at least one thread about it.

I am sure the question of deciding what is commemorative or not will blur with ancient coins. As they are not usually called "commemorative" in catalogs but they may picture something or someone to commemorate.
But for e.g. this - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces124575.html will fit the "commemorative" issue.

Under the "modern" understanding of commemorative coins, some countries in Europe have been producing them from the 15th century, probably even earlier.

​Interesting problem with the listing. The coin is listed as issued in 1511, before the identified currency.
"Currency Thaler (1520-1754)"

​Yep, you are right. I did not even notice it.

A rough guess would be Gold staters minted by Alexander the Great in the various new cities he set up in Asia Minor, Middle East and central asia between 335 and 330BC

Then Roman coins celebrating capitulation of Greece and Carthage in 146BC. Romans loved issuing coins with the word "CAPTA" on them, meaning a place had been added to the Republic/Empire.
