Interesting fact

The Ikesio Stater from Maroneia (Thrace) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized portrait of a mythical creature called a "satyr" on one side, and an image of the Greek god Apollo on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of King Lysimachus, who ruled Thrace from 365 BC to 330 BC. The use of a satyr on the coin may have been a nod to the region's rich cultural heritage, as the satyr was a popular figure in Thracian mythology.
