Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient cultures. The City of Acinipo was a Roman city in the province of Hispania, and the Turdetani people were a pre-Roman tribe that inhabited the region. The coin's design likely reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between these groups during that time period.
