Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hexas coin from Akragas (Sicily) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a deity or mythological figure, the Hexas coin bears an image of a large, stylized flower, which is believed to represent the fertility and prosperity of the city. This distinctive design sets the Hexas coin apart from other coins of its time and makes it a fascinating piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
