Interesting fact
The Tetrachalkon coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Perrhaiboi in Thessaly, and its design features a unique combination of four different animal symbols: a bull, a lion, a gorgon, and a dolphin. This combination of animals was meant to symbolize the four elements of nature - earth, air, water, and fire - and reflect the city-state's connection to the natural world.
