Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Electrum Stater from Eburones (Gallia Belgica) is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Celtic-Greek interaction in Gaul.
