Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Gallic goddess Epona, who was revered by the Celts and later adopted by the Romans. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during this time period.
