Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Stater "Geometric" coin from Uncertain tribe Brittonic (Celtic Britain) is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized horse, typical of Celtic art, while the reverse side bears a geometric pattern of circles and lines, which is a common feature of ancient Greek coins. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the Celts and Greeks during the period.
