Interesting fact

The Tetradrachm coin from Rhodes features a portrait of the Greek goddess Helios on one side and a rose on the other. The rose was a symbol of the island of Rhodes and was also associated with the goddess Aphrodite, who was revered as the patron deity of the city. The inclusion of the rose on the coin may have been a way to express the island's connection to the goddess and its cultural heritage.
