Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Iberian and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a portrait of a local king, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a horse, which was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Iberian culture. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Ilergetes people and their Roman conquerors.
