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 (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized head of a Celtic deity, while the reverse (back) side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the Celts and Greeks during this time period.
