Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a quadriga, or a chariot pulled by four horses, on its obverse side. This design was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage and symbolized the power and prestige of the issuing authority. In this case, the quadriga on the Tetradrachm of Syracuse (Sicily) during the Deinomenid tyranny (483 BC - 480 BC) may have represented the wealth and military prowess of the ruling dynasty.
