Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm (Philippsreiter Type) coin from Burgenland Celts is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Epona, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the Celts and Greeks in ancient Europe.
