Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm (Wuschelkopf Type) coin from East Noricum (Kingdom of Noricum) was minted during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the region and the Mediterranean world. The coin's design, which features a stylized portrait of a king or deity, was likely influenced by the artistic styles of neighboring civilizations, such as the Greeks and Romans. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the Tetradrachm (Wuschelkopf Type) is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians.
