Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin was used by the Carthaginian Empire, which was a powerful trading empire that existed from the 12th to the 3rd century BC. The coin features a symbol of the empire's wealth and power - a Phoenician galley, which was a fast and maneuverable warship that allowed the Carthaginians to control the seas and expand their empire. The coin's design also includes an image of the goddess Tanit, who was revered by the Carthaginians as a protector of the city and its people.
