Interesting fact

The Tetradrachm from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 15.11g, 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 standard circulation currency in ancient Greece and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
