Interesting fact
The Æ19 coin from Madytos (Thrace) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and a horse on the other. This design was likely chosen to symbolize the importance of horse breeding and trade in the region, as well as the cultural influence of ancient Greece.
