Interesting fact
The Æ11 coin from Neandria (Troad) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Neandria, which was located in the Troad region of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). The coin features an image of a mythical creature called a griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek culture. The griffin was often depicted on coins and other artifacts from the region, reflecting the importance of mythology and symbolism in ancient Greek society.
