Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetrachalkon - Euxenos (Hypata) coin from Ainianes (Thessaly) is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Thracian elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the head of the Thracian king, Euxenos, while the reverse side features the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and influence between the two regions during that time period.
