Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a stag's head, which was a symbol of the city of Kamiros. The stag's head is depicted in a very naturalistic style, with detailed fur texture and a realistic expression. This level of detail and realism in coin engraving was quite advanced for the time period, and it showcases the skill of the ancient Greek engravers.
