Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Snettisham type ¼ Stater coin from the Iceni tribe is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a Roman-style horse and rider, highlighting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic Britain.
