Interesting fact
The Didrachm - Agesidamos coin from Rhodes is interesting because it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a deity or a mythological figure, it shows a stag's head, which was a symbol of the island of Rhodes. This design was used to indicate the coin's origin and to differentiate it from other coins circulating in the region.
