Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm (Kinnlos Type) coin from the Dacians of Transylvania, which was minted between 300 BC and 1 BC, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a god or goddess, this coin features a stylized representation of a bee. This is believed to symbolize the importance of beekeeping and honey production in ancient Dacian culture.
