Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the horse turning its head - which sets it apart from other coins of the same era and region. This design element suggests that the coin may have been minted to commemorate a specific event or to honor a particular deity, and its inclusion on the coin may have held symbolic significance for the people of Ambiani.
