Interesting fact
The Drachm (Kugelwange Type) coin from Uncertain Eastern European Celts (Uncertain Central and Eastern European Celts) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between ancient civilizations. Its unique design, featuring a stylized animal on one side and a wheel-like pattern on the other, reflects the blending of artistic influences from various cultures, including Greek and Celtic traditions. Despite being over 2,000 years old, this coin remains a fascinating piece of history that offers insights into the lives and traditions of ancient peoples.
