Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of both running characters and disks on its design, which sets it apart from other coins of its time and region. The use of both these elements in one coin suggests that the tribe that issued it was experimenting with different design motifs and wanted to showcase their artistic skills. Additionally, the fact that it's made of bronze and weighs 2.87g indicates that it was a widely circulated coin, used for everyday transactions, and not a rare or commemorative coin.
