Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm (Hrabusice Type) from Cotini (Central European Gauls) is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a depiction of a stylized horse, which was a symbol of strength and power in Celtic culture, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence of the Mediterranean world on the Celts of Central Europe during that time period.
