Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Mende (Macedon) features a unique design on its obverse side, which includes a portrait of a young man with a long neck and a lion's head protruding from his mouth. This design is believed to represent the mythical creature known as the "Chimera," which was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Greek mythology.
