Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 15.19g, is interesting because it features a depiction of the Greek god Helios on one side and a rose on the other. This coin was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
