Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 15.17g, is interesting because it features a rare image of a rose on its reverse side. This coin was issued during the Hellenistic period and is considered a symbol of the wealth and prosperity of the island of Rhodes during that time.
