Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a wheel on its reverse side, which is a unique design element for a coin from that time period. The wheel is believed to represent the Celtic god of commerce and prosperity, Taranis, and its presence on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the prosperity and wealth of the Gaul Veneti region.
