Interesting fact

The Æ15 coin from Federal Coinage of Phokis was used during a time of great economic and political change in ancient Greece. It was issued during the reign of King Philip II, who is best known for his military conquests and his efforts to unify the city-states of Greece under one rule. The coin's design features the image of a mythical creature called a griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek culture. Despite its small size, this coin played an important role in the economy of the time and is still studied by historians and collectors today.
