One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design, reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic territories. The coin's obverse side bears a stylized depiction of a warrior's head, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a horse, both of which are common motifs in Celtic art. However, the coin's use of Bronze and its weight of 18.5 grams align with Roman standards for coinage during this period, suggesting that the Turduli people were influenced by Roman economic and monetary systems. This blending of cultural and economic influences makes the coin a fascinating example of cross-cultural exchange and the development of new forms of currency and trade.
