One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient cultures. The Tartessii people were a pre-Roman civilization that inhabited the southwestern region of the Iberian Peninsula, and their art and architecture were heavily influenced by both the Phoenicians and the Greeks. This coin, which was minted during the reign of the Roman Republic, showcases a fusion of these different cultural styles, making it a fascinating piece of history.
