Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side depicts a wheel with eight spokes, while the reverse side shows a krater, which is a type of ancient Greek vessel used for mixing wine and water. This combination of symbols may suggest that the coin was used for trade and commerce, as well as for religious or ceremonial purposes.
