Comment
Early uninscribed coinage (c.75-c.30 BC), British Qa, ‘Remic’ type; BMC 445-58Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Atrebatic B coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a Roman-style eagle, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic Britain.
