Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Gallic goddess Epona, who was revered by the Parisii tribe. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Celtic and Greek cultures during that time.
