Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Celtic 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 motif of a racing quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses). This fusion of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural exchange that occurred during the time period in which the coin was minted.
