Interesting fact
The Dichalkon coin from Pherai (Thessaly) is interesting because it features a unique design, with the head of a gorgon on one side and a horse on the other. This design was meant to symbolize the power and strength of the city-state of Pherai, and it's a notable example of ancient Greek coinage.
