Interesting fact
The Didrachm from Akragas (Sicily) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a horseman riding a horse in a standing position, with the horse's head turned back towards its rider. This design is known as the "Akragantine type" and is a distinctive feature of coins from this ancient Greek city.
