Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Celtiberian and Roman elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a horseman, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features a stylized Roman numeral "V" surrounded by a wreath, indicating the coin's denomination and Roman influence. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Celts and the Romans during that time.
