Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trinovantian Q coin is that it features a unique reverse design that depicts a stylized horse and rider, which is believed to represent the Celtic goddess Epona. This coin is one of the few examples of Celtic coinage that showcases the blending of Celtic and Roman artistic styles, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic territories.
