Interesting fact

The Æ16 coin from Tomis (Thrace) made of Bronze weighing 2.43g is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the reign of King Lysimachus (323-281 BC), who was one of the generals of Alexander the Great. The coin features the image of a lion's head on one side and the king's name on the other, and its unique design makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
