Interesting fact

The Æ9 coin from Skamandria (Troad) features a unique combination of symbols on its reverse side, including a hoplite (a heavily armored infantryman) and a griffin. This combination has led some numismatists to suggest that the coin may have been issued to commemorate a military victory or alliance between Skamandria and another city-state.
