Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols, with both a horse and a boar depicted on the same side. This suggests that the coin may have been used to represent the dual nature of the Suessiones people, who were known for their skill in both horse breeding and agriculture. The coin's design may have been intended to symbolize the balance and harmony between these two aspects of their culture.
