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 (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Epona, while the reverse (back) side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex cultural exchange and trade networks that existed between the ancient Celts and Greeks.
