Comment
Interesting fact
The Diogenis coin is a unique and rare coin, with only 1,500 pieces minted. It features the image of Diogenes, a Greek philosopher known for his minimalist and ascetic lifestyle, on one side, and the image of a dog, which was said to be his constant companion, on the other. The coin's design is a nod to Diogenes' famous quote, "I have nothing to give but my shadow," highlighting his rejection of material wealth and his focus on living a simple life.
