Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Quinarius (Nauheimer Type) coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman design elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized head of a Celtic deity, while the reverse (back) side bears a representation of the Roman goddess Victory. This fusion of artistic styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Celts and Romans during this time period.
