Interesting fact
The coin features the image of a horse on its obverse side, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. Horses were not only a symbol of strength and power but also played an important role in ancient Greek culture, being used for transportation, warfare, and sports. The horse on this coin is depicted in a running pose, with its mane and tail flowing in the wind, giving the impression of movement and dynamism. This design choice was likely intended to convey the idea of speed, agility, and freedom, which were all highly valued qualities in ancient Greek society.
