Interesting fact
The Æ15 coin from Kardia (Thrace) was minted during the reign of King Lysimachus, who was one of the generals of Alexander the Great. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription of the king's name on the other. This coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Kardia, which was located in the region of Thrace (now part of modern-day Turkey).
