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 history of the Kingdom of Noricum, which was located at the crossroads of Celtic and Greek civilizations.
