Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Caesarea (Galatia-Cappadocia) minted during the reign of Hadrian (120-121 AD) is notable for its unique design. It features a portrait of the emperor on one side and a depiction of the goddess Tyche on the other. Tyche was the patron deity of the city of Caesarea, and her image on the coin symbolized the city's prosperity and good fortune. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight of 1.7 grams also make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
