Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a stylized horse on one side, which was a symbol of strength and power in ancient Celtic culture. The horse was also associated with the goddess Epona, who was revered across the Celtic world as a protector of horses, riders, and travelers. The inclusion of the horse on this coin may suggest that the Suessiones people held these values in high esteem.
