Interesting fact

The Æ11 coin from Hamaxitos (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 mythological creature's association with the wild and untamed, while the quadripartite incuse square may symbolize the four elements or the cardinal directions. This coin's design is a prime example of the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient civilizations.
