Interesting fact
The Æ9 coin from Kebren (Troad) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of a satyr on one side and a quadripartite incuse on the other. The satyr image is believed to represent the mythological creature's association with the wild and untamed, while the quadripartite incuse may symbolize the four elements or the cardinal directions. This coin's design is a prime example of the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient civilizations.
