Dembsky# 1216Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from the Dacians of Transylvania, which was minted between 200 BC and 100 BC, features an image of a capricorn on its reverse side. This zodiac symbol was likely chosen because the Dacians believed that the capricorn represented strength, power, and fertility, which were all important qualities for their society. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin highlights the cultural and spiritual beliefs of the Dacian people and provides a unique insight into their values and traditions.
