Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that the triskele (also known as the Triskelion or Triskeleion) symbol on the coin is a motif that has been used in various cultures throughout history, including ancient Greece and Celtic art. It is believed to represent the three aspects of the triple goddess (maiden, mother, and crone) in Celtic mythology. The use of this symbol on the coin may indicate that the people of Cadurci had cultural or trade connections with these other civilizations.
