Interesting fact
The Æ11 coin from Sigeion (Troad) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of a satyr on one side and a quadripartite incuse square on the other. The satyr image is believed to represent the mythical creature's association with the wild and untamed, while the incuse square may symbolize the four elements or the cardinal directions. This coin's design is a prime example of the artistic and cultural influences that were prevalent in the ancient Greek world.
