Comment
Coin DT 2206 (= Sch/D. 231) is the closest to this issue, but in pale gold closer to electrum.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a winged character, which is a rare design element for coins from this region and time period. The winged character is believed to represent a Celtic deity or mythological figure, and its inclusion on the coin may have been meant to symbolize the importance of religion and mythology in Celtic culture.
