Interesting fact
The coin features the image of a horse on its obverse side, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. Horses were highly valued in ancient Greece, not only for their use in warfare and transportation but also for their symbolism of strength, speed, and beauty. The horse on this coin is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its mane and tail flowing in the wind, giving the impression of movement and energy. This design choice was likely intended to convey the power and vitality of the city of Kleitor and its people.
