Interesting fact
The Dodekadrachm coin from Derrones (Thraco-macedonian region) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized image of the Greek goddess Hera on one side and a quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses) on the other. This design was likely chosen to symbolize the region's cultural and economic ties to ancient Greece.
