Comment
There might be variations with small needles on the barley, like it's blossoming.Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a stylized image of a horned horse, which was a symbol of the ancient Thracian tribe known as the Getae. This suggests that the coin may have been used by the Getae people during their interactions with other ancient civilizations.
