Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The bust of the person on the coin faces left, which was a common feature in Greek coinage, while the rest of the design elements, such as the torque and the ornate hairstyle, are characteristic of Celtic art. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the Celts and the Greeks during this time period.
