Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a seated figure on one side and an animal on the other, which is a common design element in ancient Greek and Thracian coins. The seated figure is believed to represent a deity or a mythological figure, while the animal is thought to symbolize strength, power, or fertility. The use of these symbols suggests that the coin was used for religious or ceremonial purposes, as well as for trade and commerce.
