Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dichalkon coin from Sikyon is that it features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a horseman riding a horse in a galloping pose, with the horse's head turned backward. This design is known as the "Sikyonian type" and is a distinctive feature of coins from this region.
