Interesting fact
The coin features a unique image of a mythical creature called a "satyr" on one side, which is a half-human, half-goat figure with horns and a beard. This design was likely chosen to represent the fertility and abundance associated with the god Dionysus, who was worshipped in the region where the coin was minted.
