Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Epona, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Kingdom of Noricum, which was located in what is now modern-day Austria and was inhabited by both Celtic and Greek populations.
