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 during a time when the region was heavily influenced by Greek culture. The coin's design features a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and an image of a horse on the other, reflecting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred in the region during that time period.
