Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 15.07g, 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 bears the image of a rose, which was the symbol of the island of Rhodes. This design was used to promote the island's reputation for producing high-quality roses, which were highly valued for their beauty and fragrance. The use of the rose on the coin also served as a way to advertise the island's agricultural products and promote its economy.
