Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Celtic influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek mythological scene of a griffin and a stag. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that took place in the region during that time period.
