Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element known as the "Liegendem Achter" or "lying eight" type, which depicts a stylized 8-shaped motif on the reverse side of the coin. This design is believed to have been used by the Celts of Uncertain Central and Eastern Europe during the 3rd century BC, and is a distinctive feature of their coinage.
