Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols, with both a sword and a pentagram present on the same coin. The sword is often associated with strength and power, while the pentagram is a symbol of protection and spirituality. This combination may suggest that the coin was intended to represent the dual nature of the Celts, who were known for their warrior culture and their deep spiritual beliefs.
