Comment
This type of TOGIRIX epigraph bronze is extremely rare, while the equivalent Denier is relatively abundant.Interesting fact
The TOGIRIX coin features a unique design, with the head of a Celtic goddess on one side and a stylized horse on the other. This coin was used as a form of currency among the Sequani people, who lived in what is now modern-day France. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Celts.
