Comment
The denominations of bronze coins that are unknown to numismatists are referred to as Æ, (or AE, which means it is made of a base alloy), and with the diameter after it.Interesting fact
The Pergamon (Mysia) Æ10 coin from 310 BC - 284 BC is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and a winged horse (Pegasus) on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional designs used on coins in the region at the time, which often featured images of animals or mythological creatures. The use of Athena and Pegasus on this coin may have been intended to symbolize the city's cultural and artistic ties to ancient Greece.
