The Oretani people were an ancient civilization that lived in the area that is now modern-day Spain, and their coinage reflects their unique cultural and artistic traditions. One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin As from City of Sisapo is that it features a distinctive design on the reverse side, which depicts a stylized image of a wild boar, a common animal in the region. This design element is a nod to the Oretani people's close connection to nature and their reliance on hunting and gathering for survival.
