Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Roman and Celtic influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized bust of a Celtic deity, while the reverse (back) side features a traditional Roman design of a horseman riding a horse. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region during that time period, where the Roman Empire was expanding its influence into Central Europe and interacting with the local Celtic tribes.
