Interesting fact
The Dichalkon coin features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of a gorgon's head, while the reverse side features a spiral pattern. This spiral pattern is believed to represent the ancient Greek concept of the ouroboros, a serpent that consumes its own tail, symbolizing the cycle of life and death.
