Interesting fact
The Tyra (Skythia) Æ18 coin features a unique blend of Greek and Scythian elements on its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a bearded Greek god, possibly Apollo or Dionysus, while the reverse (back) side features a Scythian warrior on horseback, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the two civilizations during that time period.
