Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman design elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized Celtic horse, while the reverse (back) side features the Roman goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch, symbolizing the victory of the Roman Republic over the Celtic tribes. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Romans and the Celts during this time period.
