Comment
Imitation of the coinage of Empirion (see example in link).Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Uncertain Aquitania Gallic tribes (Gallia Aquitania) made of Silver weighing 4 g is interesting because it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a stylized head of a Celtic deity, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the Celts and Greeks in ancient Europe.
