Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Chichester Cock" coin is that it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and religious beliefs of the Atrebates and Regini tribes of Celtic Britain. The coin's obverse side depicts a stylized cock, which was a symbol of fertility and prosperity in Celtic mythology. The reverse side features a stylized wheel or circle, which may represent the cycle of life and death, or the connection between the natural world and the spiritual realm. The coin's design is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Celtic societies and their deep spiritual connection to the natural world.
