Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 1.79g, is interesting because it features a unique design on its obverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a deity or a monarch, it bears the image of a rose, which was the symbol of the island of Rhodes. This design choice was likely meant to represent the island's reputation for its beautiful roses and perfumes, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
