Interesting fact
The Drachm (Stern 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 silver content and intricate design made it a valuable and highly sought-after coin, not only within the Celtic world but also among neighboring cultures. Despite its age, the coin remains a testament to the advanced metalworking techniques and artistic skills of ancient civilizations.
