Tetradrachm 520 BC - 500 BC

One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm coin from Abdera (Thrace) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a lion's head on the obverse (front) side and a griffin's head on the reverse (back) side. This distinctive design was likely used to represent the city's cultural and political ties to both the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states.
