Interesting fact
The Dichalkon coin from Sikyon (Sikyonia) 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 represents an early form of currency in ancient Greece.
