Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Atrax (Thessaly) features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a owl, and an inscription that reads "ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ" (Athenaion), indicating that it was minted in Athens. This blend of Athens' iconography with the local Thessalian style is a distinct characteristic of coins from Atrax, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
