Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm (Dachreiter Type) coin from Uncertain Eastern European Celts is that it features a unique combination of Greek and Celtic influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a Celtic warrior on horseback, highlighting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred between the two civilizations during that time period.
