Comment
The eye on the obverse consists of a dot surrounded by a circle, which constitutes class VI of this type.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique bird design, known as the YLLYCCI (Class VI) bird, which is not commonly found on other coins from the same time period. This suggests that the Senones tribe, who issued the coin, may have had a special significance or cultural association with this particular bird species.
