Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Tetradrachm (Sattelkopfpferd Type) (200 BC - 1 BC) from Dacians of Moldavia made of Silver weighing 13.62 g is that it features a unique horsehead design on the obverse (front side), which is believed to represent the Dacian god of war and fertility, Deceneus. This design was a distinctive feature of Dacian coinage and sets it apart from other ancient coins.
