Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, with an image of a scallop shell on one side and a stylized head of a boar on the other. This design was used to represent the Boii tribe, who were known for their skill in hunting and their association with the boar. The coin's design serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Boii people and their importance in the region's history.
