Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a horse on the reverse side, which was a symbol of strength, power, and mobility in Celtic culture. The horse was also associated with the goddess Epona, who was revered across the Celtic world and was often depicted on coins and other artifacts. The inclusion of the horse on this coin may have been a way for the Sequani people to express their cultural identity and connection to their Celtic heritage.
