Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a depiction of Kotys, who was a Thracian king, while the reverse features a representation of Cybele, the Phrygian goddess of fertility and agriculture. This coin is significant because it highlights the cultural exchange and influences between the Thracians and the Phrygians during that time period.
