Interesting fact
The Perinthos (Thrace) Æ20 coin from 250 BC - 100 BC is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater, on one side, and a grapevine on the other. This design was likely chosen to reflect the region's strong agricultural tradition and its reputation for producing high-quality wine.
