Interesting fact
The Æ10 coin from Hamaxitos (Troad) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Hamaxitos, which was located in the Troad region of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). The coin features an image of a warrior on horseback, which symbolizes the city's military prowess and power. Despite being made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at the time, the Æ10 coin from Hamaxitos was considered valuable and was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
