Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The Ashdown Forest Helmet type was minted during a time of cultural exchange and blending between the Celtic tribes of Britain and the Roman Empire, which had recently established a presence in the region. The coin's design incorporates elements of both cultures, such as the Celtic-style helmet and the Roman-style wreath, reflecting the complex cultural dynamics of the time.
