Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Didrachm (Kugelwange Type) (300 BC - 201 BC) from Uncertain Eastern European Celts (Uncertain Central and Eastern European Celts) made of Silver weighing 6.11 g is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a Celtic-style horse, while the reverse side features a Greek-style owl, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the two civilizations during that time period.
