Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm - Timarchos coin is that it features the image of a mythical creature called a "Seleucid Lion" on its reverse side. The Seleucid Lion was a symbol of the Seleucid Empire and was often depicted on coins and other artifacts from the time period.
