Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols, with both a horse and a boar depicted on the same side. This suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in a region where both animals held cultural or spiritual significance. Additionally, the fact that it was made of bronze and weighs 3.92g suggests that it may have been a widely used and practical form of currency for everyday transactions.
