Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Epona, while the reverse (back) side features the Roman goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the complex political and cultural dynamics of the Eravisci tribe, who were situated at the crossroads of Celtic and Roman civilizations.
