Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts, on one side, and an image of a boar on the other side. The boar was a symbol of strength and bravery in ancient Greek culture, and it's interesting to see it featured on a coin from the Boii tribe.
