Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a rose. This combination of symbols may have been used to represent the city of Kolophon's military strength, cultural influences, and economic prosperity during that time.
