Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols, with both a wolf and a lizard depicted on the same side. This suggests that the coin may have been used to represent a specific alliance or agreement between two different tribes or regions, with the wolf and lizard serving as symbols of their respective powers and strengths. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of bronze, a durable and long-lasting metal, may indicate that it was intended to be used for trade or commerce over a long period of time.
