Interesting fact
The Nagidos coin features a unique combination of symbols and letters that reflect the cultural influences of the region at the time. On one side, it depicts a seated figure of a goddess, possibly Artemis, with a stag's head and a crescent moon above her. On the other side, it shows an incuse punch with a Linear A symbol, which is believed to represent the local language and script of the time. This blend of Greek and Anatolian elements in the coin's design highlights the cultural exchange and diversity of the ancient world.
