Interesting fact

The Ilipula Laus coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted by a pre-Roman tribe in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically the Turdetani people. The coin features a unique blend of ancient Iberian and Roman elements, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between these civilizations during that time period.
