Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm (Ohrlocke Type) coin from Uncertain Eastern European Celts (Uncertain Central and Eastern European Celts) features a unique design element - a small wheel or "ohrlocke" on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This distinctive feature is not found on other coins from the same region and time period, making it a notable characteristic of this particular coin.
