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 power and strength but also played an important role in ancient Greek mythology. In fact, the horse was associated with the goddess Athena, who was revered as the patron deity of the city of Orra Hyria. The inclusion of the horse on the coin may have been a nod to the city's cultural and religious heritage.
