Interesting fact
The Didrachm from Hyria (Campania) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and Italy, and its design was inspired by the Greek goddess Athena. The obverse side of the coin features the image of Athena wearing a helmet and carrying a spear, while the reverse side shows a horse's head and a palm tree. This coin was minted during the 5th century BC and was widely used for trade and commerce in the region.
