Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Oktadrachm coin from Ichnai is that it features a unique combination of Thracian and Macedonian elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Thracian horseman, while the reverse side shows a Macedonian shield and spear. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region, where Thracian and Macedonian cultures coexisted and interacted during the 5th century BC.
