Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Iberian and Roman influences in its design. The Ilergetes people were a tribe that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula (present-day Spain and Portugal) during the 2nd century BC, and their coinage often reflected their cultural connections with neighboring tribes and civilizations. In this case, the coin's design incorporates elements of both Iberian and Roman styles, reflecting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during this period.
