Interesting fact
The Æ17 coin from Ouranopolis (Macedon) is notable for its unique design, which features a helmeted head of Athena on the obverse (front side) and a horseman on the reverse (back side). This design was used on many coins during the Hellenistic period, but the Æ17 coin is particularly rare and valuable due to its high level of preservation and the fact that it was minted in a relatively small quantity.
