Interesting fact
The Æ17 coin from Zeleia (Troad) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of a satyr on one side and a stag on the other. The satyr is depicted with a pointed beard and a crown of vines, while the stag is shown in a running pose, with its head turned back towards the viewer. This design is unlike any other coins from the same time period, making it a rare and interesting artifact for collectors and historians.
