One interesting fact about the Dobunnic D coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, which includes a stylized horse and a crescent moon, surrounded by a circle of dots. This design is believed to have been inspired by the art and symbolism of the Dobunni tribe, who were known for their skill in metalworking and their deep connection to the natural world. The coin's design serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Dobunni people and offers a glimpse into their artistic and spiritual practices.
