Interesting fact
The ¼ Stater - Eunikos 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 shows an Egyptian-style image of a falcon, symbolizing the connection between the two cultures. This fusion of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and trade that occurred between Greece and Egypt during the Hellenistic period.
