Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this 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 the Celtic goddess Epona, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Kingdom of Noricum, which was located at the crossroads of Celtic and Greek civilizations.
