Comment
Imitation of Drachms of Marseille (see example in link).Interesting fact
The Drachm DIKOI coin from Ligures (Cisalpine Gaul) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Celtic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred in the region during that time period.
