Interesting fact

The Laiesken coin is an ancient coin from the Laietani people, who lived in what is now modern-day Spain. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, which depicts a stylized horse and rider. This design is unlike any other coin design from the same time period, making it a standout piece among ancient coins.
