Interesting fact
The ¼ Stater - Damas coin from Rhodes is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Egyptian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features an Egyptian-style image of a falcon, symbolizing the connection between the two cultures. This coin is a rare example of cultural exchange and fusion in ancient numismatics.
