Comment
Göbl, TKN pl. 15 H1, 2 [13/63]Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm (Svicca Type) from West Noricum (Kingdom of Noricum) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Roman Empire and the Celts. The coin's design features a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Sirona on one side and a stylized horse on the other, symbolizing the importance of trade and commerce in the region.
