One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Iberian and Roman influences in its design. The Turdetani people were a pre-Roman tribe that inhabited the region of Turdetania, which is now modern-day Spain, and their coinage often reflected their cultural exchange with neighboring civilizations. In this case, the coin's design incorporates elements of both Iberian and Roman styles, making it a fascinating example of cultural fusion during the ancient period.
