One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Roman and indigenous Turdetani designs. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized bust of a Turdetani warrior, while the reverse side features a traditional Roman design of a horse and rider. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Roman Republic and the Turdetani people during this time period.
