Interesting fact
The Cessetani people were a tribe that lived in the area that is now modern-day Spain, and their coinage was characterized by unique designs and inscriptions that reflected their culture and beliefs. One interesting fact about the ¼ Unit coin from the Cessetani people is that it features an image of a wild boar on one side, which was likely a symbol of strength and fertility for the tribe.
