Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm coin from Abdera (Thrace) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and a Griffin on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between ancient Greek city-states, and its design reflects the blending of different artistic and mythological traditions.
