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 intriguing feature on ancient coins and is believed to be a symbol of the Dacian people's connection to the natural world.
