Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Triskelion Stater coin is that it features a unique three-legged symbol, known as the Triskelion or Triskele, which is a common motif in Celtic art and symbolism. The Triskelion is believed to represent the three aspects of the goddess of sovereignty, fertility, and prosperity in Celtic mythology. The use of this symbol on the coin suggests that the Aedui tribe placed great importance on these values and believed that they were essential to their prosperity and well-being.
