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 traditional Greek mythological scene of a nymph riding a sea monster. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex cultural exchange that occurred between the Celts and Greeks during this time period.
