Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Stater - Eunostos (310 BC) from Soloi (Cyprus (ancient)) made of Gold weighing 2.63 g is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Cypriot elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a Cypriot pyxis (a ritual vessel) surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history of Cyprus as a crossroads of civilizations in the ancient Mediterranean world.
