Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Apollo on one side and a mythical creature, known as a "Dickschrötling," on the other. The Dickschrötling is a rare and enigmatic symbol that has been found on a few ancient coins, but its meaning and significance are still unknown.
