Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an eagle on one side and the letters "CECISV" on the other, which stands for "Civitas Esuviorum," meaning "City of the Aedui" in Latin. This suggests that the coin was minted by the Aedui, a Celtic tribe that lived in what is now modern-day France, specifically in the area known as Gallia Celtica. The coin's design and inscription reflect the cultural and political influences of the time, providing a unique glimpse into the history of ancient Europe.
