Comment
The obverse is to be compared to class VI coins, but the lyre reverse corresponds to class Vb.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this 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 blending that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Gaul.
