Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Thracian elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a youthful male head, likely a representation of the god Apollo, who was revered in Thrace. The reverse side shows a stylized image of a dolphin, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural diversity of the region and highlights the complex exchange of ideas and artistic traditions that occurred during this time period.
