Interesting fact
The Metrophon coin from Maroneia (Thrace) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a mythical creature known as a "satyr" - a half-human, half-goat figure that was believed to roam the woods and mountains of ancient Greece. This design choice was likely intended to symbolize the region's connection to Greek mythology and culture.
