Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Thracian elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a youthful male head, likely a representation of the god Apollo, while the reverse side shows a seated female figure, possibly a representation of the goddess Demeter. This fusion of deities from different cultures highlights the diverse cultural influences present in Abdera during that time period.
