Comment
Legend in Northeastern Iberian script
untikesken
eba, likely face value Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols and letters that reflect the cultural and historical context of the Indigetes people, who were a tribe that lived in what is now modern-day Turkey. The coin's design includes a stylized horse and rider on one side, and an inscription in the ancient Indigetes language on the other. The use of both animal and written symbols on the coin suggests that the Indigetes people placed a strong emphasis on both agriculture and literacy, which is a fascinating insight into their way of life.
