Interesting fact
The Hexas coin features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a hexagon-shaped pattern of six circular disks, each containing a small cross. This distinctive design has led numismatists to believe that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in trade with other ancient civilizations, particularly the Phoenicians, who were known for their advanced maritime trade networks.
