Interesting fact
The Euboian League's Standard circulation coin Æ (304 BC - 290 BC) made of Bronze weighing 4.02 g is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery that reflect the cultural and political values of the league at that time. On one side, the coin depicts a nymph, representing the fertility and prosperity of the region, while on the other side, it features a stern-looking warrior, symbolizing the league's military strength and protection. This coin is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic skills of the ancient Greeks, and it provides valuable insights into the economic, social, and political structures of the Euboian League during the Hellenistic period.
