Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which was a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features the Roman goddess Victory, highlighting the Roman influence on the coin's design. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic territories.
