Interesting fact
The Bronze Unit coin from the City of Ursone (Turdetani people) was used as a form of currency during a time of significant cultural and economic exchange in the region. The coin's design, which features a stylized image of a bull on one side and a geometric pattern on the other, reflects the artistic and cultural influences of the Turdetani people, who were known for their skill in metalworking and their rich artistic traditions. Despite being over 2,000 years old, this coin remains a fascinating piece of history that offers a glimpse into the daily life and commerce of ancient civilizations.
