Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tyche, the Greek goddess of fortune and prosperity, on one side, while the other side bears the image of a Phoenician ship, symbolizing the city's maritime trade and cultural exchange. This coin is a unique representation of the blending of Greek and Phoenician cultures during the Hellenistic period.
