Interesting fact
The Pictones coin featuring a turned horse is one of the earliest known examples of Celtic coinage, dating back to the 1st century BC. It's fascinating to note that the Celts had a rich tradition of coinage, with various tribes and regions issuing their own unique coins, which not only served as a medium of exchange but also as a symbol of their cultural identity.
