Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features the head of a satyr, a mythical creature with human-like features and goat-like horns and ears. Satyrs were often associated with the god Dionysus, who was revered in ancient Thrace, and the inclusion of this image on the coin may suggest a connection to Dionysian rituals or festivals.
