Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The helmeted head on the obverse (front) side of the coin is a distinctly Celtic element, while the rosette on the reverse (back) side is a common Roman motif. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic territories.
