Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Clacton type 2 Stater is that it features a unique combination of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse (back) side bears a stylized image of a Roman warship, indicating the influence of Roman culture on the Celts during this time period. This blending of styles reflects the complex cultural exchange that occurred between the Celts and Romans during the period of Roman expansion into Britain.
