Interesting fact
The Tetartemorion coin from Terone (Macedon) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and non-Greek elements. On one side, it depicts a traditional Greek symbol, the owl, while on the other side, it shows a non-Greek motif, a stylized tree, which is believed to be a symbol of the ancient Macedonian kingdom. This blending of cultures reflects the rich history and diversity of the region, making the Tetartemorion a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
