Interesting fact
The Chalkous coin features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a stylized head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side shows a quadripartite cross, which was a common symbol in ancient Thrace. This combination of a deity and a geometric shape reflects the cultural blend of Greek and Thracian influences in the region during that time period.
