Interesting fact
The Tetrobol coin from Magnetes (Thessaly) features a unique design on its obverse side, showcasing the head of the nymph Thetis, who was a sea goddess in Greek mythology. This design was a departure from the more common depiction of gods and goddesses on ancient Greek coins and highlights the cultural and artistic influences of the region where the coin was minted.
