Interesting fact
The Krithote coin features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a helmeted head of Athena on one side and a horseman on the other. This combination has led some numismatists to suggest that the coin may have been issued to commemorate a military victory or event, although the exact significance of the symbols remains a topic of debate among historians and collectors.
