Interesting fact
The Diobol coin from Pergamon (Mysia) made of Silver weighing 1.14 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Hellenistic period, and its design features the image of a mythical creature called the Gryphon, which was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Greek mythology.
