Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a charioteer facing right, which is a unique design element for coins from the Uncertain Gallia Celtica tribes. This suggests that the coin may have been minted specifically for a particular event or occasion, or that it was intended to convey a specific message or symbolism. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold suggests that it was a high-value coin, possibly used for trade or commerce with other regions.
