Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized head 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 Celtic tribes were interacting and trading with Roman civilization.
