Interesting fact
The Æ20 coin from Ancona (Picenum) was minted during a time of great cultural and economic significance for the ancient Greek city-state. The coin's design features the head of the goddess Athena on one side and a horse on the other, symbolizing the city's strong maritime and agricultural traditions. Despite being made of bronze, a relatively common metal at the time, the coin's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item today.
