Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of influences from both Greek and Celtic cultures. The coin's design incorporates elements of Greek art, such as the use of a profile portrait of a king, while also showcasing Celtic motifs like the intricate patterns and spirals found on the coin's reverse side. This blending of cultures reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Kingdom of Noricum during this time period.
