One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which was a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features a Greek-style owl, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. This fusion of artistic styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred between the Celtic people of the region and the neighboring Greek cities.
