Interesting fact
The Drachm (Kapostal Type) coin from Hercuniates (Central and Eastern European Celts) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Celts and other civilizations in the region. Its silver content and intricate design made it a valuable and highly sought-after coin, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
