Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 1.70g, is interesting because it features a unique design on its obverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a deity or a monarch, it shows a stag's head, which was the symbol of the city of Rhodes. This design choice was likely meant to highlight the island's rich wildlife and its connection to the natural world.
