Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of elements on its obverse side, including a stylized head of a Vindelician goddess, a crescent moon, and a star. This blend of celestial and divine symbols suggests that the coin may have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes, in addition to its value as a medium of exchange.
