Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 15.00g, is interesting because it features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and a stag on the other, which was a symbol of the island of Rhodes. This coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the ancient Greek world and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
