Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Æ (350 BC - 330 BC) from Olbia (Skythia) made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Scythian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Greek profile of a bearded man, while the reverse side features a Scythian-style horse and rider, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the two civilizations during this time period.
