Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element known as the "Kugelwange" type, which refers to the spherical shape of the coin's flan (the flat part of the coin's surface). This design was used by the Celts in Eastern Europe during the 3rd century BC and is a distinctive feature of their coinage.
