Comment
Attribution is uncertain, maybe Treveri or Eburones; the few known provenances are located on either side of the Middle Rhine Valley.Interesting fact
The Triskeles symbol on the ¼ Gold Stater coin from Uncertain Gallia Belgica tribes is a rare and unique feature, as it depicts a three-legged figure with the legs bent at the knee, forming a triple-looped design. This symbol is believed to represent the three main Celtic gods: Taranis, Lugus, and Teutates. The use of the Triskeles on this coin suggests that the Celts of this region had a strong spiritual connection to their deities and believed in the power of three. This coin is a valuable artifact that provides insight into the religious beliefs and artistic expression of ancient Celtic culture.
