Interesting fact
The Didrachm from Phistelia (Campania) is notable for its unique design, which features a helmeted head of Athena on the obverse (front side) and a horseman on the reverse (back side). This design was not commonly used in ancient Greek coinage, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
