Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hexas coin from Lipara (Sicily) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a hexagonally-shaped pattern of six small circles surrounded by a larger circle. 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 Greek city-states.
