Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of two different metals, gold and silver, which were combined to create electrum. This was a common practice in ancient times, as it was believed to have unique properties and symbolism. The use of electrum in coins also signified the value and wealth of the issuing city or kingdom.
