Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Greek goddess, likely Eirene (Irene), while the reverse side features a depiction of a mythical creature, the Tistiar, which is a hybrid of a bull and a lion, commonly found in ancient Italian art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural exchange that occurred in the region during the Hellenistic period.
