Comment
Kellner, Manching pl. 11, 208.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a stylized head of a Celtic deity, while the reverse (back) side features a traditional Roman design of a horse and rider. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Celtic tribes and the Roman Empire.
