Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 15.35g, is interesting because it features a unique design on its obverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a deity or a mythological figure, it features a portrait of the Rhodian poet, Euripides. This is a rare example of a coin that combines both artistic and literary elements, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
