Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Trinovantian S 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 design is not found on any other coins of the Catuvellauni tribe, making it a distinctive and valuable piece for collectors and historians.
