Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a branch or branches - which is not commonly found on coins from this time period. The presence of branches on the coin may indicate that the Nervii people had a strong connection to nature or agriculture, or that they wanted to highlight their skills in metalworking by incorporating intricate designs onto the coin.
