Comment
Imitation of Tetradrachm of Philip II (see an example in link below).Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from the Dacians of Banat was used as a form of currency for trade and commerce, and its design featured an image of a mythical creature called the "Capricorn," which was a symbol of strength and power in ancient Dacian culture.
