Interesting fact
The Dichalkon coin from Dyme (Achaia) is interesting because it features a unique design, with the head of a mythical creature, possibly a Griffin, on one side and a horseman on the other. This coin was used in everyday transactions and is a rare example of a bronze coin from this time period.
