Interesting fact
The Drachm coin featuring Herakleitos from Ephesos (Ionia) is notable for its unique design, which depicts the ancient Greek philosopher with a lion's head on the obverse side. This design was meant to symbolize Herakleitos' belief in the unity of opposites, as the lion was considered a symbol of strength and power, while Herakleitos was known for his philosophical ideas about the interconnectedness of all things.
