Comment
Class XI has a right and a backhand very degenerate compared to the initial type.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique bird design, known as the YLLYCCI (Class XIa), 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 connection to this particular bird species.
