Interesting fact

The Onomarchos coin from Phokis features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a hoplite (a heavily armored Greek foot soldier) advancing right, holding a shield and a spear. This design was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, symbolizing the military prowess and power of the issuing city-state.
