Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dichalkon coin from Orchomenos of Arcadia 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 "reverse horse" motif and is a distinctive characteristic of coins from this region and time period.
