Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm (Zweigarm Type) coin from Uncertain Eastern European Celts is that it features a unique design element known as the "Zweigarm" or "twin-arm" motif, which consists of two curved lines that extend from the center of the coin and resemble arms or branches. This design element is not found on other coins of the same period and region, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
