Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Bronze Obol coin from Kyme (Aeolis) is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a owl, and a crescent moon, which reflects the cultural and mythological influences of the ancient Greek city-state of Kyme.
