Interesting fact
The Cessetani people were a tribe that lived in what is now modern-day Spain, and their silver coins were used as a form of currency during their time. One interesting fact about these coins is that they featured a unique design, with a stylized image of a wild boar on one side and a celestial body, such as a sun or a moon, on the other. This design was a symbol of the tribe's connection to nature and their belief in the power of the natural world.
