Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Psophis (Arkadia) features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a facing head of a Satyr, a mythical creature with human-like features and goat-like horns and ears. This design is quite rare in ancient Greek coinage and speaks to the rich cultural heritage of the region.
