Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a young man, believed to be the god Apollo, on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This coin was likely used for everyday transactions and trading, and its design reflects the cultural and religious values of the people of Tanagra during that time period.
