Interesting fact
The Triskelion, also known as the Triskele, is a Celtic symbol that features three interconnected spirals. It is believed to represent the three realms of earth, water, and sky, and is often associated with the three goddesses of the land, sea, and sky. The use of the Triskelion on the reverse of this Gold Stater coin suggests that it may have been used as a symbol of Celtic identity or spirituality.
