Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin 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 Apollo, a common motif in Greek coinage, while the reverse side features a Celtic warrior on horseback, highlighting the cultural blend that existed in the Kingdom of Noricum during that time period.
