Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm (Slowakischer Type) coin 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 a Celtic deity, while the reverse side features a Greek-style image of a horse and rider. This fusion of artistic styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred between the Celts and Greeks during this time period.
