Interesting fact
The Dichalkon coin features a unique design on its obverse side, showcasing the head of a youthful Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater. This design was a departure from the more traditional images of gods and goddesses found on other ancient Greek coins, and it may have been intended to highlight the importance of Dionysus in Thessalian culture.
