Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the image of a boar, which was a symbol of strength and fertility in Celtic culture, while the reverse (back) side features the image of a human head wearing a Roman-style helmet, indicating the coin's Roman origins. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the complex history of the Senones, a Celtic tribe that lived in what is now modern-day France and had significant interactions with the Roman Empire.
