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 horse and rider, while the reverse side features a seated figure holding a scepter and a small wheel, which is a common motif in ancient Celtic art. This fusion of artistic styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred between the Celts and the Greeks during this time period.
