Interesting fact
The Hexas coin features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a hexagon-shaped pattern of six circular disks, which gives the coin its name. This distinctive design has led some numismatists to speculate that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in trade with other ancient civilizations, particularly in the Mediterranean region.
