Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Denier Tournois coin from County of Salona (Frankish Greece) made of Billon is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes the Christian faith, while the reverse side features a image of a Greek goddess, possibly Athena or Aphrodite, indicating the continued influence of ancient Greek culture in the region. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the Frankish Empire's reign over Greece.
