Comment
C. M. Kraay, Archaic and classical Greek coins (1976) 140 Nr. 491 (um 480 v. Chr.).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 rich cultural heritage of the region and highlights the complex history of the Thraco-Macedonian people.
