Interesting fact

The Tetrobol coin from Terone (Macedon) is interesting because it features an image of a young god, possibly Apollo, playing a lyre on one side, while the other side depicts a racing quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses) and a driver. This coin is unique because it combines both mythological and real-world elements in its design, showcasing the blend of art and culture in ancient Macedonia.
