Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of three different deities on its obverse side. The coin depicts the profiles of Dionysios, Niketes, and Demo, who are all associated with the Greek god Dionysus. This triadic representation of Dionysus is not commonly found on ancient Greek coins, making this coin a rare and interesting example of ancient Greek numismatics.
