Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a boar on one side, which was a common motif in Celtic art and symbolism. The boar was considered a powerful and sacred animal in Celtic culture, associated with strength, courage, and fertility. The use of the boar on this coin may have been intended to convey the power and prestige of the Osismii tribe, who were known for their skilled warriors and strong military presence in the region.
