Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trinovantian M Stater 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 depiction of a horse and rider. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex historical context in which the coin was created, during a period of Roman expansion into Celtic territories.
