Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Celtic influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Greek profile of a deity, likely Apollo, while the reverse side features a stylized Celtic horse and rider, highlighting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Gaul.
