Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Mende (Macedon) features a unique design on its obverse side, which includes a portrait of a young Alexander the Great, who was the king of Macedon at the time the coin was minted. This design was not found on other coins of the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
