Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Celtic deity, possibly the goddess Epona, on its obverse side. Epona was a revered figure in Celtic mythology, often depicted as a horseback rider or with horses nearby, symbolizing her association with fertility, protection, and the natural world. The inclusion of this image on the coin highlights the cultural and religious practices of the Nervii tribe in Gallia Belgica during that time period.
