Interesting fact
The Dikaia Stater was minted during the reign of King Teres I, who was the first ruler of the Odrysian kingdom, a powerful Thracian state that existed from the 5th to the 1st century BC. The coin features an image of the king's name in Greek letters on one side and a horse on the other, which symbolized strength and power. The fact that the coin was made of silver suggests that the Odrysian kingdom had a strong economy and was involved in extensive trade networks, as silver was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
