Interesting fact
The ½ Stater coin from Sequani (Gallia Celtica) made of Gold weighing 3.6 g is interesting because it is a rare example of a gold coin from ancient Celtic culture. Most Celtic coins were made of silver or bronze, so the use of gold for this coin suggests that it may have been a special issue or reserved for high-status individuals. Additionally, the coin's design, which features a stylized horse and rider on one side and a wheel or solar symbol on the other, is unique to Sequani and reflects the cultural and artistic traditions of the region.
