Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Esuprasu coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse (back) side features a Roman-style depiction of a horse and rider. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Corieltauvi tribe, who were part of the Celtic-speaking peoples of Britain but were also influenced by the Roman Empire.
