Interesting fact

The Tetradrachm from Kos (Carian Islands) features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing a standing Apollo, who is depicted with a lyre in his left hand and a bow in his right hand. This design was not commonly found on other coins of that time, making it a distinctive feature of the Kos Tetradrachm.
