Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Abdera (Thrace) featuring Pithes has a unique feature - it has a small owl engraved on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the city of Abdera. This owl design was used on many coins minted in Abdera during that time period, and it's a distinctive characteristic that helps identify the coin's origin.
