Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Stater from Gaul Veneti is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side depicts a stylized horse, which was a symbol of power and strength in Celtic culture, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and exchange that occurred between the Celts and the Greeks during this time period.
