Interesting fact
The Hebryzelmis (Type IV) coin features a unique blend of Thracian and Greek elements, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence of the Odryssa kingdom during that time period. 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, possibly Athena or Demeter, highlighting the cultural exchange between the Thracians and Greeks. This blending of cultures is a fascinating aspect of the coin and a testament to the diverse cultural heritage of the region.
