Interesting fact
The Dichalkon coin features a unique design, with two concentric circles on one side and a stylized horse on the other. The horse is depicted in a galloping pose, with its mane and tail flowing in the wind. This design was likely meant to symbolize the importance of horse breeding and trading in the ancient Thracian culture.
