Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The female profile on the obverse (front) side of the coin is depicted wearing a fibula, which is a type of Celtic brooch, indicating the cultural exchange and blending of artistic styles during the period of Roman expansion into Gaul.
