Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Thracian and Greek elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Thracian warrior wearing a helmet and carrying a shield, while the reverse side features the image of a Greek goddess, likely Athena, holding a spear and a shield. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Thracian and Greek civilizations.
