Interesting fact

The Quinarius coin from Lingones (Gallia Celtica) has a unique reversed delta symbol (KALETEDOY) on its reverse side, which is believed to represent the Celtic goddess of sovereignty, Epona. This symbol is not commonly found on coins from this region and time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
