Interesting fact

The Tetrobol coin from Akanthos (Macedon) is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a rose. This combination of symbols reflects the cultural and political influences of the region during that time period.
