Interesting fact
The Didrachm - Ameinias 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 scene, it shows a stag's head, which was a symbol of the island of Rhodes. This design choice was likely meant to highlight the island's reputation for its rich wildlife and natural resources.
