Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The bust of the person on the coin faces left, which was a common feature in ancient Greek coinage, while the rest of the design incorporates Celtic elements, such as the intricate patterns and symbols found on the coin's reverse side. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the Celts and Greeks during this time period.
