Interesting fact
The Æ20 coin from Skamandria (Troad) was used as a form of currency in the ancient city of Troy during the 4th century BC. It features an image of a warrior in a chariot on one side and a horse on the other, symbolizing the city's rich history and culture. Despite being made of bronze, a relatively common metal at the time, the coin's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable artifact for collectors and historians today.
